Hi Raul,

The composition does not work for me, because the main attraction is the bird and not the reflection. I think a tighter crop would work better. Give it a try and let me know!

The whites looks hot on top of the bird and little to no details. However, you did well with the low angle and the water trail is a huge plus!

Keep them coming!

Nice capture Raul. I like the trailing water droplets. The whites look a little hot on my monitor, and I would be tempted to crop some off of the bottom of the frame.

[Thomas Herou]

Really nice shot!I would like the whole reflection to make it more interesting.

Agree with everything above and would add that the near-womg position is my least favorite... The full downstroke would have been much better. later and love, artie

As always comments are appreciated.
I tried several croppings options, and did not like any of them... I see an upcoming trip to Merrit Islands and hope to improve my "snowy in flight" ppicture.

Thanks, Raul

This image is a difficult one to crop as you mentioned. There doesn't seem to be a good way to crop from the bottom, so including the whole reflection probably would have been best here. I like the trailing water drops. Hope you get lots of chances on snowies at Merrit!
