    Very nice interaction Jon.
    Nice clean BG.
    If mine, I would crop from the bottom just above the water line and move both birds to the right in the frame.
    Nice clear eye.
    I really like your (new?) signature,
    Gail

    Looking good Jon. Perfect colours on the birds. You can tell we've had heavy rain, the perch looks soaked. I would sharpen the head on the juve a wee bit and also the bill on the adult male.

    Ah, I see dad takes care of the family here! I love the interaction, and overall this works super nicely. I like the eater below and beautiful BG.

    A nice moment captured here. The framing is right on. Background is nice and soft. I like the pose on both the birds.

    Hi Jon, simple, nice and clean, good to see the pool getting activity.

    Just remember, to use Topaz DN at the RAW stage, never after exporting on a 'backed' Tiff, it's so wrong and NOT the way to go to handle NR.

    TFS
