    Todd:

    The higher shooting angle gave you a pretty good reflection. To play up that aspect, I would consider doing some minor water clean up, esp. the spots near the body and the dark spots near the bottom edge. Because the water is rippled behind the bird, not as important to clean there.

    Nice drip.

    Cheers

    Randy

    Todd, I agree with Randy that your shooting angle has resulted in a good reflection, but to add to that, I just love the drooling water from the bill. Well placed in the frame.

    Sharp image with nice reflection as mentioned above Todd, would also consider cleaning up the dark spots.

    I like the falling water off the bill and a beautiful bird well done Todd.
