Very nice light and image quality. wish for more room at the bottom, the virtual neck is truncated.

[Jim Poor]

Nice pose and lovely smooth water. The missing virtual neck doesn't really bother me, but the sharpening halo in front of the real neck does.

Mohammed,

Great looking image - color, light and detail all working well in this image. Too close a crop at the bottom as Fabiola mentioned.

[Alfred Forns]

Agree with previous and can add that I like the look of those feathers I fin you need a precise exposure and good light to make them look good !!!! I like it !!!

[Manos Papadomanolakis]

I really like the eye contact and details,I wish for a bit room at the bottom

[Judy Lynn Malloch]

As mentioned more room at the bottom would strengthen this image but the exposure is rich on with great light and wonderful detail and eye contact.. thanks for sharing .
