Light is magical, colors and pose, as well as the textures look great! The whole bird looks a bitr soft IMO, maybe more sharpening could help. Congratualitons!

[Judy Lynn Malloch]

Wonderful lighting and the water is so smooth. Good head turn too but I do agree with Ramon in that it does look at tad soft. Thanks for sharing.

[Joe Senzatimore]

Great light and pose. It seems soft to me as well.

[Fabs Forns]

Lovely head turn and light, although the warmth may be creating a few hot pixels on the face.
Love the raised crest.

[Graham Smith.]

Very nice tranquil image. Water on the back is nice too!
As stated already, it does look a touch soft.

[Doug Brown]

In addition to some additional sharpening, I would add a bit of canvas up top and a little on the left.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Great light, calm water and head angle. Sharpening has been mentioned.

[Chris van Rooyen]

Fantastic light, just needs a bit of sharpening
