    Hi John,

    Very sharp with a nice composition. I only wish for a little more room on top.

    I like the eye contact and colors and agree regarding putting the bird lower in the frame.

    Love the water textures and the bill detail (did you use linear burn on it?). Plumage looks a little oversharpened on my monitor. Agree re lowering bird in the frame.

    Yes to too tight above and behind, yes to lovely reflections, and absolutey yes to over-sharpened. Good job with the bill.
