    Great eye contact and perfect wing position. Detail is awesome. Nice light too. I might desaturate the orange in the feet a couple of clicks, and I'd also trim a little canvas off the bottom. Love the muddy shovel!

    It looks like there is a feather in the beak?

    Exposure and detail look good as well as wing position. Well done as usual.

    Good work here, James. All systems look go to me. I'd maybe give your shoveler a tad more room left to fly into.

    Technically beautiful James. I find the layout a bit "square-ish" and would prefer to see less of the bottom. Love the water pattern.
