    Wow, that's a spectacular and I would think quite unique image Manos. My personal preference would be for just a touch more depth of field, but that's personal taste and the action and perspective here are wonderful.:cool:

    Now this is different, and you have nailed the focus spot on. I like the trail of water falling from the beak, and the light on the eyes. I would maybe take a bit off the bottom.

    Fantastic perspective! Agree about cropping a bit from the bottom.

    Manos:

    Striking image. I might consider toning down the lightest areas on the back, just to keep our attention riveted on the face/water. I could see a minor crop from bottom. Up to the end of the water reflection perhaps.

    Cheers

    Randy

    Manos, well seen and executed. I like the DOF here. both water and eyes are within the range. agree with Randy's suggestion of a little crop from bottom. Very well done.

    I love your perspective here, not to mention the drinking action and close crop.

    Manos:

    I came back to your image because I was so struck by it.

    I addressed the points I made in my original post in this redo. I adjusted the luminosity of the back a bit, and cropped up a bit. I know the colors have gone just a bit more saturated, perhaps too much. You can be the judge of course.

    Very nice capture!
