Pretty bird, and I like the attentive pose. But maybe a tad soft in the head.

Nice bird, setting, and composition. From the lack of detail (especially in the larger version) I'm assuming that you have given this a generous application of noise reduction.

This is a very attractive bird in some nice habitat. All the fine detail seems to be missing from the feathers and the water appears a bit "plastic." Did you use NR on the bird?
