    I like the angle, sharpness, walking pose, the droplet at the tip of the bill and eye contact. I might try to lighten the iris a bit. If it were mine I would run NR on the BG and foreground.

    Don, Beautiful sharp details esp. on the leg w/ the water being pulled up-very nice. I like the soft blue water color and BG.

    Nice low angle, blue water, and distant BG. The bird seems a bit bright, I would try lowering the mid-tones a bit.

    This is pretty, Don. I like the subtle details like the water pull behind the leg and the wavelet. Very pleasing to the eye.

    Agree with the suggestion to lower the brightness a bit. The front OOF seems to have a purplish tint - only my monitor?

    Great low angle, composition and sharpness. Jr

    I like the immersed striding pose and cascade from the rear-most leg. Excellent detail too.

    Great Image Don, loved those pose, the light is good and the water droplet at the tip of the beak puts it on the top, congrats..

    I like the colours, pose and sharp detail and must agree, the droplet does add a lot. Well done Don.

    The water drop really adds to the image. Nice timing on this one.
