I love high key here Joe great image and the swirling water around the legs is nice. Water droplets on the back are nice but do notice something mostly on the back almost looks like grain. Three or four places look at the foreleg where it meets the breast. TFS
Nice but the feathers are too YELLOW, the framing is too tight, and the bird is squinting. All are addressed in the re-post. I also added a catchlight.
