    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.

    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.
