Very cool image, I like the running pose, angle, splash and details. It looks as if he wants to hug you. :) There is a little bit of noise in the dark parts of the plumage.

Great timing and composition. The lighting is "golden" and from your exif morning sunrise. Good job and very "lecker" indeed.

Awesome timing and a beautiful composition. Love the action you captured and the splash down puts it over the top for me. Congrats on a fine image Chris.

I love the head-on approach here. Beautiful light and colours Chris. And the pose is amazing with that lifted leg. Well done.

Beautiful, Chris. Well done to get that straight head on pose and symmetry. Love the colours and feather detail. Awesome light and the splash really adds to it.
