    Stunning head angle and pose. Nice detail in the face. Having a difficult deciphering if it needs a tad of CW rotation...this is not my forte. Like the water droplets on the face and body and the light is sweet.

    You managed to get a good eye on difficult pupils. Great colors and water droplets a big plus.

    Lovely Steve. Great head angle and pose. Nice sharpness. What great birds! I tried a little boost in contrast and saturation in Ps and seemed to work nicely.

    Steve, good comp, super pose with a great head angle. Excellent exposure, good detail, and I like the droplets all over the head and neck. I like the colours of the BG too.
