I like the low angle, warm light and calm water. nice details, pose and HA too. it is a bit too tight on the left border. adding room there will improve it further

loverly image.nice details,good low angle,nice light,like the light brown color of the water,agree more room on the left.

[Jonathan Ashton]

Good exposure and angle, a tiny bit large in the frame for me, I would add more all round but especially to the left.

[Marina Scarr]

Love portrait and light. Agree on too tight on the left since the tail is so close to the border. I might add a bit on the left and the top to compensate.

I echo all that has been said before me. Lovely image...

[Sidharth Kodikal]

Perfect light and shooting angle. Exposure looks spot on. I like the colors and the eye contact. Agree that it's a tad tight.
Nice work as always Tim, and looking forward to more.

Super Image Tim, Great color and an excellent transition to background. I hate to repeat it being tight on the left but it was the second thing I noted, after thinking what a terrific shot it is.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Great colours, I especially like the touch of blues in the water to offset the rest of the warm colours. Good exposure, details. I won't repeat the tightness at left (I guess I just did), and although it worked out here I would not hesitate boosting the ISO to give you even more SS for these moving subjects.
