Nice HA, great BG and more than enough details on whites. Congrats...

Excellent background and white detail

To my eye, it lacks a little output sharpening. Here's what looks good to me - How does this look to you?

[Daniel Cadieux]

Neat. Love the water ripples. Water drop and raised foot add some dynamism to the image. Seems to me the image could use a bit of CW rotation, but could be an illusion caused by the slanting ripples (I'd still experiment with it though).

Even if the repost looks marginally sharper, the OP looks fine to me on my monitor.

[Ofer Levy]

Thanks for your comments guys!
Don, thank you for taking the time to repost! Head looks slightly over sharpened to me in your version. Since all the images I keep are 100% sharp (or else they go to the bin) I don't apply much sharpening to the resized web version.

Ofer, great shot.
Original shot was already sharp enough. Repost is over-sharpened, you can see the white line on the bird's head.

Beautiful water color and I like the water drop. Excellent capture.
