Hi Robert, Interesting action you have captured here. I take it that the bird is bathing and has just ducked its head? I would prefer to see a bigger frame. Regards, Ian

Love your title! You get bonus points for that!!
Nice bathing action and light. Great POV.
Would love to see this posted at 1200 x 1000 pixels. My eyes are getting old ,so bigger is better for me!!

Nice shot vivid colours there appears to be a halo around the bird, I see it more along the bill and back.

[Robert vanMierop]

A little more work on this one. + Resized.

[Mike Poole]

Great action and the low pov works perfectly - the RP is much better

[Daniel Cadieux]

Beautiful bathing scene with nice water action. Good light, great low angle (and head angle too). The repost is more appealing with the looser crop.

[Jonathan Ashton]

Yes I like the repost, I am being highly critical now but there is a faint halo along the darker part of the bill.

[Ivan Sjögren]

The repost looks spot on! Great frozen action. Good low angle, light and head angle. I might suggest that you darken the face a bit as it looks a bit bright.

I like the dynamic pose in nice light, the repost is still a bit small. Exp looks good to me

you can post 1200 pixels wide.

Crop looks the same in each to me, but I definitely prefer the larger image. Killer title and one heck of a bathing image. The water droplets are just right and love that low angle.

Excellent shooting angle, splash and pose. Love this image Robert.
