Like how the bird is running across the water. The crop could be be less tight. Details look pretty nice.

Nice action, tail and drops are great.

Ditto John and greg. I may have asked this before, what is an E-M1X?

Thanks. If you write Olympus OMDEM1X each time perhaps my senility will be less in play :)

I think the crop is uncharacteristically tight for me, I don't know what made me make it so really! Possibly I was attempting to ensure the viewer concentrates on the bird without distraction. Anyway I agree with your assessment.
