Arash, I like the pose w/ the mud drop. The warm light looks nice. Maybe a tiny bit of NR on BG. Nice HA and the water color looks good.

Arash, good low angle, and I like the soft light and warm colours in this. Well timed to capture the dangling droplet.

Good pose, and alright light (a bit of a shadow on back and neck created by the light being not directly to your back). Neat drop creating some additional interest to the image. There is bit of a hot spot on the lightest part of the belly, and if you have it I would add back some canvas at bottom...as is the "virtual" feet are either clipped, or very close to the edge.

Arash - beautiful pose and warm light on the bird. The mud drop shows where he's been poking his bill. Agree with Daniel about the light direction and bit of hot spot (caused by reflected light?); but all in all a lovely image.
