Fabs:
The soft light has given you very nice detail and texture in the whites. Nice drip, HA, soft background.
I like the balance of the comp, with the leg included. Bit of breeze blowing up the feathers on the back.

Cheers

The soft light makes this one for me, I also like the composition and droplet at the tip of the bill.

[Ivan Sjögren]

Like it, nice light which make very nice matching coulors on the bird and in the BG. Good sharpnes on the head and a nice drop adding alot.

[Ramon M. Casares]

I know it would be a big crop, but I wonder how would this look with a horizontal crop to eliminate the leg. That water drop just put this one over the top. Lovely expure, detail ad species- Congrats.

Hi Fabs, great pose and HA, and just love the soft light and pastel colours. The droplet on the end of the bill puts this over the top.

[Keith Carver]

Exquisite portrait, Fabs, for all the reasons above. I like the vertical crop as presented, and certainly the droplet off the bill. TFS!

[Jim Fenton]

Soft lighting, soft colors, HA and the water drip combine to male a lovely image Fabs.

[Joe Senzatimore]

Soft light is outstanding and the water drop just completes a wonderful image.

[Manos Papadomanolakis]

[Sid Garige]

Droplet makes it for me Fabs. Very nice job.

[Troy Lim]

Looks like even with the rain, it was a productive day...

[Danny J Brown]

I've never seen a baby, Fabs. Just a little pink coming in. I love your crop and of course, the water drop.

Wonderful pastels Fabs. All the good points have already been used but I echo them.

[Alfred Forns]

Just sweet !!! I'm enjoying this one !!!!

[Hendri Venter]

The droplet is priceless. Wonderful image Fabs.

[Jonathan Ashton]

Right place right time and a beautiful exposure - a first class image!

I am a unconventional crop / comp person which I realize you are as well. Not sure I like the singular leg though and for me I like him cropped at the top of the leg below the feathers. In spite of that he is a gorgeous specimen which you captured perfectly.
