The head is not always purplish, sometimes it is greenish, depends on the light.
Better field mark is the shape of the head.
Thanks for looking.

Please clock on the image.

Very well done, Karl. I like the additional space you included in this image compared to the last. Great detail and sharpness here, and I love the "purplish" tones on the head. They really make the golden eye stand out well. Excellent work.

NIce eye contact and water color. It looks like it could use a bit of a contrast boost on my screen.

Sweet image of this handsome fellow. Fine detail, nice pose, reflection, and water.
There is a bit of sharpening halo around the tail that would be easily fixed.
Beautiful work!
Sandy
