Hi stuart...beautiful image...love the colors and detail...You might consider brightening up the reflection a bit more. Congrats!

Hi stuart - LOVELY looking bird - like the open beak pose and the water drops - exposure looks good and nice clear sharp eye along with good HA.
Might crop some from the bottom - as the reflection is not that strong and also not complete.
Good show :)

Strong image Stuart !!! Love the angle and behavior, spoons stands out well with the dark bg. Agree on cropping some of the reflection since its not adding much. If you were to keep agree with Bob on lightening some !!

... btw could you tell us the location? Helpful for others in the area, Thanks !!
