Love the eye. Good detail in the feathers and water droplets. Angle that the image was taken is well done.
Like the action and facial expression.
If mine, I might level the background line.

Very nice action, love that eye and sharp feathers around it.

Wicked bathing action...love the many flting water drops! Colourful eye to say the least...was it tweaked in PS, or naturally this vibrant (I'm not familiar with this species - what is it?). Image needs some CW rotation, and I would try to remove the OOF grass blade sticking out behind the bird's head.

The eye definitely makes the image and great action with the water drops flying every where.

Great capture!

In general I do like photo's of birds taking a bath.

This particular bird appears to be Turdoides jardineii - Arrow-marked Babbler.

Thanks for sharing.
