I like the wing position, sharpness and nesting material. I might raise the color temperature a bit and wish there were a bit more eye contact. Does it need some CCW rotation?

[Tony Whitehead]

Great colours and plumage with the wing pose, Stuart. Agree with Axel re CCW rotation as the reflections and ripples seem angled. Nesting material is a bonus and I like how the line of the stick echoes the line of the neck.
