Good sharpness, details and great eye contact! Good work filling the frame. The background and foreground are a little busy but I like it.

It looks like you used NR, which is a good thing, but you can avoid losing feather detail due to smoothing by using a layer mask to reveal the detail.

Love the behavior and contrast. The black dot in front of the bird has to go!

Really cute bathing pose, and even though the background is busy it works here. Funny, but the black dot that Maxis mentioned immediately drew my eye too, and I agree that it has to go. Nice capture.

Fernando I like this one a lot! The eye contact and the expression in the face of the bird couldn´t be better. Very good exposure control, perspective and action. The BG is a little bit distracting to my taste but a very nice image to keep!
