Nice dripping water!!

Image:
Haim, excellent exposure and nice colors, a tad soft on my monitor, also the pose is a little obtuse , a few steps to the right (if possible) would have presented the bird at a better angle, when ever possible follow the rule : Your shadow should point to the bird(Subject), when ever possible!!
The FG shore adds very little to the image as well, Just my taste!!!
But the exposure is excellent!!

You've picked up nice details of the plumage and the droplets are excellent. I agree with Alex about the FG, it might be useful to crop it somewhat.

I have nothing to add to (or subtract from) Alex's critique. The trail of water drops are a nice touch.

Interesting angle and nice job on the exposure.
The water drops are cool.

Haim, the high contrast has lost the legs to the BG. Great drinking action.

Great drinking action. The shot has some unfortunate things about it. The dirt is a bit distracting and the bird facing away is not ideal. The whites are just a tad over too. I like the water drops falling from the bill.

Thank you all, appreciate your critique very much. The all subject (birds) are very fascinated, (to me). I shall try to follow the "rules". Once more, thank you very much.
