I like what the shutter speed did for you here. Great sharpness in the head and eye. Nice blur of the water droplets. I might remove the twig behind the bird's head. Thanks for posting!

[Tony Whitehead]

Excellent sharpness while retaining the motion blur of the wing and droplets. Only suggestion is th desaturate the green in the foreground a little.

[Aidan Briggs]

Wonderful sharpness in the head area. I would also desaturate the greens. If you have it I would also add some room to the bottom and the right.

[Arthur Morris]

Super as above. I would have loved a bit more room below and behind the bird. I love that huge bill.

[Judy Lynn Malloch]

Excellent detail and sharpness and I love the eye contact you captured in this image Sergey. I too would have like a tad more room. Thanks for sharing.

Love the play of motion and sharpness in the critical area (the eye)
