Lovely shooting angle and the pose is great. Exp is spot on and the light is fantastic!

looks very nice, soft light with great details, a nice low angle and an attractive pose. can't ask for more
one thing I might do is selectively sharpen the water drop

Very nice image. I like the water ripple by the bird's left foot. Nice low angle.

Very nice image Don, and Arash's suggestion for sharpening the water drop is a good one.
A wonderful low angle and intimate perspective.
Don, great shooting angle and the exposure and details are great. Good job!
Individually sharpen the water droplet. I would have never thought of that. I really like your low angle. Sitting works for me. Great light and detail. Thanks for sharing.
Great shot!!
