Nice rich colours on this one, Jan. I love that splash too! Good intimate perspective. Perhaps just a bit of space could be added above the head, but all-in-all quite beautiful!
Ditto Dan. The splash is amazing and the bird and the colors are gorgeous. I'd love to see another 1/8 inch behind the bird (as presented). HA and details in the dark green are spot on.

Yes the splashing is just killer Jan but the light, colors and shooting angle are amazing too. The only thing that I am not sure about is composition, perhaps the head and the splash, main points of interest in the image, are a bit centerd. Excelent job, as usually
