    Beautiful, Frank. Great pose, love the water fading in the bg, low POV. Water swirl takes it up a notch (or two).

    Frank,

    Another beauty from you! At first, it looks like a great static pose, but then you can see some of the dynamic details: the turned feathers on the neck, the swirl of water around the head, the stretched out foot behind the tail.

    Your low perspective really adds to the image, as I like the duotone background quite a bit!

    Beautiful, I would just love a shot at these beauties. They are so photogenic. I love the flowing head feathers and the great trail of water drops as well.

    Wow, pretty darned amazing photo.
    This guy seems to be showing off his moves.
    I just love the pose with that foot out, the hair do and the swirling water.
    Killer low angle and bg.
    Nice as can be.
