Real nice shot. Great head angle, real nice detail, and I really like the ripples in the water. I think its a little on the dark side. Other than that. Well done.

Raul,

This is lovely little birdie and reflection is a plus here. Pity about the light condition.

It's a very nice image. Agree with Mital that it's too dark, and the RP is an improvement (Mital, it looks as if you added some canvas at the bottom, which also helps). But I love the quality of the light. Curious about your histogram -- did you get it to the right pretty well? The IQ looks pretty good. Could use a little selective sharpening and lightening around the eye, I think. It would have been great if you could have gotten a little more to the left, so the bird could have been angled a little towards you.

Thx for the critic, i agreed with the dark, Mital, thx for the RP it look better, Ron really more space in the botton is better, i agred with the angle
