I like the abstract nature of his background and love the water droplets. Good job with sharpening.

I love the contrasting beautiful whites in this shot, you can feel the cold and the wind and water in his feathers give the whole shot a very dramatic feel, one of my top picks. Wonderful image!

over processed to me. Light needs to be on the head. Birds need clear clear clear

Nice capture. I like the look of the small water drops on the bird and how the background adds to the image.

Very nice! You have accomplished something wonderful with this photo in that the bird itself is pretty common -- but you have made it UNcommonly beautiful with your photography. The water droplets. The pretty high key contrast, the focus and the pose. I just love it! Excellent job!

Beautiful bird, but I find the neck being cut off disturbing...makes him look kind of like a glove puppet sticking his head up through a puppet theatre.

Superb clarity and sharpness.

I really like the water detail on it's neck and head you captured.

I really like this photo, great editing, my only negative comment would be I'd like to see a little sharper focus.
