Thanks for any comments or suggestions, Dave

Well that’s just beautiful. The light and colors in addition to the pose really make this.

Wonderful light, Dave, and a great post-preening pose. I’d be tempted to add just a touch of canvas on the left as the wing tip seems a bit close to the edge.

Dave - exceptional detail - everything here is just great. I agree with Dennis a bit of canvas on the left would improve this even further.
Beautiful!

David, this is a beautiful image, find detail and the colors are great. My new favorite bird!

Excellent job on the color and detail. I am enjoying the pose and water.
