    Beautiful. This is a challenging image design, often awkward.But you nailed it perfectly. Love the raised head and the serrations on the bill. Perfect head angle and tons of detail in the dark green head.

    Hi Dan, excellent low angle here, and you have nailed the exposure. Love how the greens of the head show up so well, lovely eye, and the droplets add interest. Well captured.

    Great IQ Dan! Usually I don't like these compositions but it showcases the details perfectly.

    Nice of the bird to lift its head up for you. The green sheen is nice. I like the eye contact.
