    Mike, this one is really outstanding. Love the composition, reflection certainly adds to the overall appeal. That water droplet puts it over the top. Well done.

    Very nice. Has an artistic quality to it. Techs all look great as dose the BG and FG. I love Phalaropes, they are beautiful and dainty. Very cool to watch them feed as they spin in circles to turn up food in the water. Well done

    Phalaropes are great to observe and photograph! Nice comp, techs, colours. I'd be tempted to slightly darken the blacks on the head and bill's reflection.

    Wonderful shot.
    Excellent low angle, great pose, love the background, and nice soft light.
    Terrific comp too.
    Very well done.

    First rate photo, Mike.
    IQ is just superb, comp is perfect.
    I am surprised at times here, how photos like this are not commented on much.
    About perfect for me....
