I like the fact the green on the head matches the water. Processed using Lightroom CC (2015) and Photoshop CC (2017) along with Light Craft's LightZone. Comments and critiques welcome.

Jerry,

I also like the colorful image and the behavior shown. All over it looks very serene as well.

Lovely preening image and you always have the most beautiful water, Jerry. Well done.

Nice pose Jerry and the color palette for this shot is very calming and serene. The white by the tail looks blown out and I don't know if you can recover any detail there. Worth a try. Tough exposure, great low pov with amazing water. Well done!
