I made this image of a little Red-Breasted Merganser hen with a crooked beak riding a tidal outlet from a culvert running under a road. I left the crop wide to the right to catch the effect of the wave.
Comments very welcome and appreciated.

Excellent shot. The whitecap wave does tend to pull the eye a little.
Very original composition with these waves around. I love the mood and the post process is good too. Very good sharpness for these values, indeed.
Excellent composition and posed at such a great angle. I don't think the surf is distracting. The crooked beak lends an interesting enhancement. A favourite.
Very dynamic image and the open bill adds to it. I also like the details, composition and eye contact. I find the OOF droplets that block part of the plumage a bit distracting.
Hi Bonnie,
This is very unique, love the waves and feeling of this image. The composition works very well too. What was making so many waves?
Excellent image. I love the waves and the wide crop. The low angle is great. You might consider cloning out the OOF water droplets. Good job!!
