I am having to think about whether this one works for me, Jamie. I think it would be far stronger if the bird were smaller in the frame. Do you have more space? I like seeing all the water droplets, and especially like seeing the goose's eyes.
Same as Marina here, would love to see the goose smaller in the frame, and there appears to be a bit of colour noise on the wings and belly. Nice low angle and the water action beneath both wings is very cool.
Good job with getting the whole thing in the frame but the image is just too dingy for me....

I love the color palette of greys and blacks and whites. Great low POV and the water droplets add a lot.
I like this image as presented,

Cheers for your honesty on this one folks. I was in two minds about it myself which I why I wanted to post it and get an idea of what other folks thought.
