    Nice bird. It looks wet already. Sharp, and maybe a bit too contrasty. The biggest problem is the head angle; the bird's head is angled away from both its body and the viewer.

    Like the compo and the shot ram. but as Arthur suggested a bit high on contrast here. Otherwise well done i suppose.

    Neat little bird, and I like the water drops on it. Apart form the HA, I'm also not fond of the thick branch in the URC (I love the rest of the BG). Good details and "cool" colours.

    P.S. You forgot the area between the legs for your NR...

    I like this little bird. My biggest nit is the big branch in the BG and the HA. I like the eye and the upright feathers at the base of the beak,
