Loved the pose and angle in this Denise, the water droplets add to the action here... well done..

[Grace Scalzo]

The exposure is perfect, allowing for lots of details in the blacks and the whites, and I'm with Kiran, the little falling droplets are a nice element.

[Colin Knight]

Nice image for the reasons already given. I wouldn't mind seeing the left wing a little brighter towards the tip. Whites very nicely controlled!

Beautifull captured Denise with a wonderful low angle and excellent exposure and eye contact. A beauty :)

[Stu Bowie]

The low angle makes this Denise, and I like the posture with the wingspread. Well placed in the frame, well exposed, and overall nice and sharp.

[Michael Zajac]

Denise, I like the low angle and the pose. Sharp and well exposed. Great job!

[Joe Senzatimore]

I think the comp. makes this for me. It is a sweet image all around , with just enough room for the subject without any negative space.

[Kurt Bowman]

Great image !! Denise!! Low angle and your handling of the blacks and whites spot on. The water movement around the feet and water droplets take this to another level. Thanks for showing.
Best regards
