Lovely pose and sharpness. I like the bands of colour. Pity the head was not angled a little toward rather than a little away from you. I would probably tidy some of the spots from the water surface and run NR on the BG but I like this a lot.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Great angle, pose, details and BG. I agree regarding cloning out the bright spots in the foreground.

[Steve Maxson]

A beauty, Dobromir. I like the pose with the open beak. Yes, the head angle could have been slightly better, but this one works for me. I'm OK with the white spots as presented. The background is a bit noisy, as Tony noted, and somewhat oversaturated, IMO.

[Ramon M. Casares]

Love all about this one, I would only apply some noise reduction. Love it! Congratulaitons!

[Maxis Gamez]

Love the pose. I have to disagree about the water drops, I think they add a LOT to the image and habitat. Excellent low angle and colors.
