Gorgeous KK! Love the details and the shadow at the back; perfect touch, it gives it a sense of motion and enhances the composition. :)

Great detail, reflection and light here KK. I would like to see a bit more room above the bird's head.

Stunning detail, KK!
The reflection adds to the image but the birds' eye really grabs my attention.
