Saby, a very nice and sharp image. The water dropping from the mouth makes it a live.

Lovely composition. The low angle and the water droplets enhances the image further. I think it was quite far for me to photograph. You got a nice one.

Agree with Mrudul, lovely shot and composition... Water drops look good.
