Love the wing position and catchlight. Sure is sharp. The angle is very nice. Exposure of whites are great. Super photo Denise.
Great work, Denise! Love the low perspective. Great work on the exposure, incredible detail, and oh yeah, killer pose! I might take a little off the top, left, and bottom to position the little guy's wing into the upper-left corner as demo'd in the repost below.
Beautiful, Denise. Cute youngster, but looks a bit disheveled. Great exposure, comp, HA, wing position, detail. Got it all. I like the original presentation, but Blake's repost is also good, concentrating a bit more on the bird without being too tight, IMO.
In this case disheveled equals wet :) Love the perfect wing position and exposure. I like a bit of a crop from the bottom. EXP and head angle perfect.

Denise, this is excellent. Perfect angle and wing stretch. Great timing. Exposure spot on as usual. Just wishing the water color to be better.
Great shooting angle and pose. Like the feather detail and comp. Nice sharp details too.
Excellent shot! I like the composition in the repost.
very nice image Denise. I do like Blakes crop. great wing stretch and detail.
Thank you all very much for your comments. I like Blake's crop suggestion too.:)

Great shot Denise....exposure looks great.
Thanks Troy, I appreciate you taking the time to comment:)
I know what you mean, there never seems to be enough time:)
Perfect head turn and wing stretch! Excellent sharpness. I prefer the tighter crop.
