    It's a gem, lovely exposure and detail, great pose. The trailing water droplets are an added feature. Did you crop top or bottom, or both? I think I would prefer a tad more space both top and bottom

    Nice details in the feathers. Agree on the rest with Jonathan.

    Hi Rod, The whites look spectacular against that background! If you have more image, you might add to the top and to the left. Thanks for sharing. Gerald

    Beautiful shot. Lots of things to like...the perfect wing position, the habitat, the angle of the bird, exposure. If you have any room in front of the bird, a tad more might help. really nice BG.
