The colors and smoothness as mentioned are lovely. Wish too for a better HA and looks soft as presented. The drop of water on the tip of the bill a nice touch.
I like the composition and water colors but agree regarding the head facing away. I would also sharpen the bird a bit more and the whites have a magenta cast on my monitor.
Daniel, that background is outstanding! Overall the images isn't quite as effective with the bird looking away...but with time this location should net some fantastic photographs. Keep up the great work.
Just want to add you could consider cropping some off the bottom. The background is magnificent. At the same time though, it may be getting more attention than the bird does, assuming of course that you would like it the other way round. And I think you may like to check to see if it needs some slight rotation adjustment. Still, a good looking image.
