    Very sharp with good eye contact and a nice open beak. I like the muddy habitat too. Maybe a little CCW rotation.

    Image nicely designed and the harsh light was handled relatively well. I like that you avoided a merge between the top of the head and the far bank, and I like the slightly open bill. The second layer of mud looks quite funky as if it were over-lightened.... And the birds feathers seem a bit noisy which makes no sense unless the ORIG were well underexposed.
