Hi Fernando,

What a lovely looking bird. Looks like you had an overcast day..... 1/3200 looks like a high shutter speed for such conditions. The image looks a little dark and the whites are in the grey range. Remember, in cloudy days add more light!!

Love the action and water drops!

[George DeCamp]

Very elegant bird and nice action as well. Agree with Maxis, the image looks a little grey, maybe you can brighten it with some post processing/ A nice looking image.Perhaps some fill flash would be another suggestion for you to try next time in similar conditions.

Nice action, and I love the water trail created by the swooping head. Having said this I wish this image was frozen a split second before in order to get a bit better head angle. I would also give more room for the trailing leg. Still very cool!

I like it Fernando !!!! Wish for a little more room behind the bird and for that other wing to be open !!! If you were in full sun your exposure is on the money It is set for sunny 22 !!

I like the white feather detail and overall feel !!! Agree with Daniel on the head angle !!! Muy buena !!!

Excelent action here Fernando. Love the water drops splashing around the bird and the semiopen right wing. Well done. Una delicia de imagen Fernando
