I don't think I've ever seen a shot quite like this. Everything looks great to me. Nice low angle, the eyes look sharp which isn't always easy when a bird is looking right at you. The open bill rocks too. Top notch!!

Neat open mouth shot. Well timed. I like the brown "baby" feathers.

The one thing I might change, is somehow I always like getting the full reflection beneath, especially if there's nothing distinct up above.

Great pose, the open mouth makes this one unique. I would put the bird higher in the frame and it might be a tad oversharpened.

Great pose!!!
