Vivaldo:

Great shooting angle for this fellow. The horizontal lines give a sense of speed and motion.
Excellent pose, love the reflections on the wing, feet, well exposed and sharp.

I might try a version with the sharp line of grasses cloned out, but minor point.

Cheers

Very nice flight pose and bg colours.

Wonderful shot! Great sharpness throughout. Must have been a pretty sunny day to shoot at ISO 400 1/6400" and f/8!

[Daniel Cadieux]

Wow, very appealing flight image! The low angle does it for me. Great colours, wing positions, BG, and yes even that line of grasses Well done!

Really a terrific capture as is. Love the wing position, your comp and the reflection of the water on the far wing.

[Shawn Zierman]

Superb low shooting angle flight image. Love the light quality.
Foreground to background elements of the image are harmonious and rocking.
Great downstroke flight pose.

One hect of a shot. not easy to pull this off at such low shooting angle. might move the bird a little bit back in the frame but thats a minor point. Tons of things to like here.

Love that this image is at eye level and includes habitat. This image has a great feel to it.
