Nice Feeding pose. On reflection I like clean reflection (Personal Choice). It is not possible in the scenario. I would clone out double catch light.
Nice light and good details on the whites.
Love the foot, the sharpness, the caustics, and the perfect EXP. Hate the head angle and you know what that means for me ...
