Very well done. Love the angle to the subject, the perfect head angle, the raised far wing, and the good EXP. And the puffed up neck feathers.

Thanks, Artie!

Great action and love the droplets of water. I feel it is a little too sharp. Well done Cindy! I love images like this. :)

Lovely moment captured. Good exposure and I really like the droplets. The raise wing and puff feathers give me a feeling of playing in the rain. Some of the feathers do look oversharpen on my monitor.

I'm enjoying this one.
The action and splashes, sharpness, overcast colors and the surrounding all contribute to a fine image.
