Lovely fg, bg and splash. The shooting angle is perfect - enough to get that nice reflection.
I like the comp a lot. Needs CW rotation imo. Terrific image.
I like the way the eye follows the bird, bill, reflection and tail feathers forming a circle. Nice image for sure.

Very nice shot indeed, agree that it needs a bit of CW rotation.
I added a touch of Sauration and a slight rotation. Looks better to me.

Love it....much better...TFS.
The repost is lovely. No nits from me. I love the water droplets,
Gail
Thank you
Awesome capture & comp, Cheryl! Like the color, water drops and reflection! Repost looks great, nice work!
Everything about it is over the top great. Thought the OP was fine on saturation, but I like the repost even better. Great job.
A moment beautifully captured.... water droplets look great in this shot
Wow With both plume and bill touching the water, makes fort a really interesting cyclical experience.
