NIce shot, Howard. Looks like he's watching you with one eye.

Howard, what a wild character here, looks like he's really enjoying himself too. Does the fogging of the eye look like there is a protective lens there that is in place while bathing maybe? I mean without him closing the lid with a blink.
Needless to say the photo captured this ritual very nicely. Thanks for sharing it.......

I'm impressed with the sharpness and color depth of this image.

Nice water actiobn and colors. The nictating membrane covering the eye is understandable but does detract a little from the image for me.

Very cool, Howard. Great splashes and I like the raised back feathers and position of the head.
Well done.

That's a lot of action going on Howard. Well captured image of this behavior and I like the nictitaing membrane as well as the included environment. (Thanks for finding the cloning artifacts in my last post, you were the only one. I noticed it shortly after I posted it and fixed the original.)

Howard,
Great capture of the moment, which is always difficult.
The nictating membrane is a bit of a nuisance, but not a deal breaker
