I liked this image but would like to know your thoughts.:)

[Daniel Cadieux]

I like it too, Denise. Perfect height to take advantage of the reflection, and Ilike the head twisting motion with the water drops flying.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

I like the sense of motion and open bill and might sharpen bird and droplets a bit more.

[Stu Bowie]

Great behavioural shot Denise. Looks like he's enjoying the shake, and I like the sprayed water flying around. Well timed and captured.

[Brian Barcelos]

Nice placement in the frame Denise. Love the ruffled feathers and twisting head motion with water droplets. Ripples in the water and reflection really adds to it also. Congrats

[Roman Kurywczak]

Hey Denise,
Nice action and love the fact you were up a bit higher to capture the reflection. To further add to Axels recommendation possibly lightening the drops a bit more....to give seperation...but only if you are OK with such things.
A little bit unusual, but it does work well.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the feedback.

Denise, Nice timing for this. The water flying is a nice touch. Exposure and details look great.

Beautiful light and wonderful behavior. Lovely colors. :)

Cute Denise, you got the moment. It'd be nice if you can sharpen eye drops a bit more

[Bonnie Block]

Beautiful reflection--and love the toss of the head and water droplets. I agree --maybe just a tad more sharpening on the droplets to make them sparkle. Nice!

Thankyou all for your comments. I appreciate it.
