Great pose and eye contact. the flying water is a big plus. The detail in the body feathers is good but the neck is possibly little soft, some the bright color looks ovrexposed. But still a great image.

Hi Bob - I would crop the blue strip from the top, exposure looks good and love the drops of water everywhere.
Pity about the LHS being clipped - might consider cropping from the LHS making a more deliberate cut???

Agree with Advise Bob !! Regarding the reds just lower the red channel saturation and watch the feather detail appear !! The sensor over saturates all on its own !!!

[Dave Mills]

Great advice by Lance and Al. Hit all the points...

Terrific shot. Agree with Lance on the crop, and it does look oversaturated in the reds. Both easy fixes.

amazing shot sir... all points pointed very well above... i am an amature photographer but i still think that the focus is also not on the eye... if it would be the image would look more good.... i hope sharpening it will make it look more good....
