Coming across some older files again I found this image which I find worth to share.
Love how the water is melting into the bg.

Comments and honest critics are appreciated. Don't miss to leave a word. ;)

Cheers from the rainy Hungary, Szimi

Szia Szimi,

I like the composition, the reflection. Some people would probably remove the shine on the bill, but I am ok with it. I'd maybe remove the green stuff on the right side of the image. Small thing...I'd place my signature in the other corner....just a small suggestion. Enjoy the rain.

Superb low angle image..... I could not imaging changing a single thing.

[Alfred Forns]

Dream like bg Szimi !!!!

Love the pose, crop and feel If anything would lighten the darker brown feathers just a bit !!! Big Congrats !!!!

[Doug Brown]

Beautiful shot Szimi! I like the idea of brightening the dark feathers a bit. I would also add a bit of canvas up top and remove the specular highlights on the bill.

[Juan Carlos Vindas]

Lovely.

Great species and BG.

[Mark Dumbleton]

Super low angle - I feel the bird is a tad tight in the frame - more room on top and left would be better.

[Stu Bowie]

Perfect low angle, and I like the slightly tilted head. Good suggestion to lighten the feathers, and I would lighten the eye a bit too. Superb BG.
