Nice wings stretch and I like the boxy crop. You might consider cleaning up the white debris in the water. All in all, well done.

with love, artie

I was ready to hate this with the backing foliage in the thumb, but I think it works pretty well now that I'm here. It's a perfect representation of the habitat, and the log really looks good here. Spread wing is great, and the raised foot adds interest. Details look great across the frame. Well done.

The wing strech is nice. I do like the crop and the framing.
