[Sidharth Kodikal]

Excellent dynamic pose. Love the low shooting angle and the eye contact. Very nice, Frank

[Dennis Zaebst]

Good job Frank, beautiful and dynamic image. Good techs and straight down the barrel eye contact (sorry about the "gun" analogy, maybe I should have said straight down the lens barrel:e3). It looks like he is conducting an orchestra, if you will forgive a momentary lapse into anthropomorphism. Very well done.

[Lorant Voros]

Beautiful symmetry and indeed a great dynamic pose. Maybe you could clean up the OOF debris from the water? Well done, Frank.

[Karl Egressy]

I like this hugging pose, Frank. Well done.

[PhilCook]

Wonderful Symmetry, very well timed shot and very little evidence of motion blur, all comes together nicely

[Arthur Morris]

I like it for all the reasons above. I think that folks are missing the fact that you did a really good job of processing this considering that the light is from the right....

[Sachin Saraf]

Wonderful capture Frank...Love the direct stare with both eyes visible and nice wing position...

[David Salem]

I like the head on look and the symmetry to this shot. Nice Frank!

[Mike Veltri]

Nice low shooting angle Frank.

[Faraaz Abdool]

Excellent shot with just the right degree of motion blur. And you did well with the light coming in from the left. Love the low intimate angle.

[Stu Bowie]

Hi Frank, both eyes stand out and well visible, so well done for positioning yourself, or the duck. :w3 Good symmetrical wing position, and I like the flying droplets. I also like the darker feeling to the overall image.

Great symmetrical position! Good low POV and nice light,
