Great pose, Patricia. The exposure looks excellent. It looks to me like there might be a bit of a blue color cast -the plumage looks just a bit off. There's also some small crinkly finge around the bird-maybe from oversharpening?

I agree with Dennis' comments. I especially like this pose with the wing position. Since you don't have the full reflection I might crop a bit from the left and bottom to lessen the amount of partial reflection.

Dennis and Barbara. Thanks for the comments on this post. I will rework, incorporating your suggestions, before printing.
