    Okay, I'll give it a shot. My eye naturally wants to land on the grass instead of the bird so I would clone out the clump on the front left side and clip back some of the grass in front of the right wing. Also, I'd boost the contrast a bit on the white bird and the blue water and lower the saturation a bit on all of the grass. I'd also like to see just a bit more room on around the wings.

    Man, but that's a funny pose you got! His feet look like he's doing the thumbs up!:D

    I agree with the idea of cloning out the clump of grass. Other that that, I think it is a cool picture, especially with the nice lilly pads in the background

    The whole thing seemed a little washed out / over exposed to me. Butt shots are typically a no-no, but when done right can have strong feelings. This one also has some humor as it really does look like your getting the "social finger salute."

    Well guys ...... I think that bird was giving me the bird !!!!!!! :cool:

    I think if it had a head to go along with it then I might keep it but have to agree without one is tough !!!!

    Will probably keep Jim's re post and use it for a future "Fickle Finger of Fate Award" That was one cruel bird !!!:D:D:)

    Alfred I love it, just makes me smile. I could see this being used in some off the wall advertising campaign or wall poster. I like the colour on the first image, second is to saturated for my taste. Not to sure about the head angle, a nice over shoulder wink would have been even better.:)

    Hi - my very humble opinion - missing the head. Just makes it look a little weird for the lack of a better word.
