    I like the silhouette, walking pose, ripples and water colors and might remove the halo near the bird's knee joints.

    In addition to Axel, I'd work on the two extended toes - that is remove the shiny spots. And the reflections below. (four spots directly under those toes, and the thick black line)

    Colors look great Manos and the pose is nothing short of elegant! :)

    Thanks for sharing.

    Love the raised foot. I like the water droplet on the toe but would lose the halo behind the ankle. (Sorry Ax, those are the ankles not the knees, and I think that you know that....)

    Great composition. As Ramon recommended, I would also boost the colors ( kelvin and/or S-curve??)

    Super comp, and I like the show of movement with the raised foot. Silhouettes always work well against a colourful BG. Well captured.
