    Excellent eye level perspective Sid, and you have brought the reds on this fellow so well. Sharp where it counts, and I do like the flying droplets.

    Nice low angle, great reflection, and some nice flying water drops all add up to a nice image Sid.

    Hi Sid, cracking image that fits the name perfectly. Love the wet plumage, but the crown is the icing.
