    Composition, light and perspective works very nicely for me David. the closed eye makes a very nice mood in this image.

    Nice low-angle shot and lovely soft BG. I also like the closed eye pose. Looks like the head is slightly oversharpened. Adding more canvas to right and subtracting from left might improve COMP.

    David, lovely lazy pose, and I like the soft light and colours. Comp wise, I would crop off at the bottom, just below the sandbank, and add a bit to the LHS.

    I like the pose and low angle but would definitely crop from bottom to eliminate the reflected head (about halfway between reflection and feet). A refelction that is split away from the main subject just rarely ever brings anything more to an image. I like how you captured the feather still caught in the bill - very nicely timed :-)

    Wonderful image David, I like the relaxed pose and low angle. I like the crop suggestion as well.

    I wouldn't have kept the reflection. Light and pose are nice as exposure and detail. Congratulaitons!

    I too feel the image has a greater impact without the relection. Like your compostion.
