Hi Mike, Lovely low angle, just enough space below for the virtual legs, and the droplets add interest. Love the colour of the water, and if this were mine, I would maybe take a bit off the top.

[Karl Egressy]

Beautiful shot, Mike. I like the low angle, feather details and sharpness. The water droplets in the air add interest.

[PhilCook]

Swett shot indeed mike, the droplets defying gravity are excellent, light is beautiful and the blue is about a lovely a color as one could hope for, and love the way the blue fades to blur...just a sliver taken off the top to remove the narrow greyish band would make it perfect

Terriific photo, Mike.
Beautiful color and light.
There is a smudge on the right side I would get rid of.

[Robert Holguin]

Wonderful shot.
Love the color of the water, beautiful light, and excellent low angle.
Very well done.

[Frank Schauf]

Excellent image quality, great details and sharpness.

[Melissa Groo]

Of course I love your low angle! Super exposure, sharpness, and nice water drops. I too would get rid of that darkish blob on the right if you are ok with that.
