    Taken in your own pond....that's quite some water feature in your garden. Low angle is great as is the glassy water and splashes, looking great Gail

    Nice light, great low angle. I like the habitat and action suggested by the water drops. How nice to have such a place in your back yard.

    Lovely low angle and head angle Gail. I would love to have a pond like your super, would spend lots of time there.

    Great low angle, nice eye contact and love the water droplets.

    I wouldn't mind having a pond this as well... :)

    Hi Gail, good placement in the frame, and I like your comp with the extra space above the water showing the grass/reeds. Good HA, and the flying droplets add interest.

    Hi Gail,

    I agree with the comments above, but I would prefer to see the whites in the bird's rear flanks toned down a bit. I too especially like the water droplets.

    Nice low angle and eye contact. BG is a bit overpowring IMHO. Cropping a bit tighter might help.

    Very nice angle and habitat, I don't think I would change a thing.

    Very nicely done ... great bathing pose and composition with excellent detail!

    I like the sense of habitat provided by the BG but agree it's a bit overpowering.
    A heavy does of noise reduction selectively on the BG might take the edge off a bit.

    Low angle, flying ater drops, subject placement in the frame all look great. I like the habitat too, but some of the brighter stems pull my eye.
