Lovely looking image Karl. Nice details on the bird, the whites are lovely and just the right amount of sharpness. I really like the detail on the head. Good work Karl and thanks for sharing
Beautiful flight shot, Karl. Great wing position, excellent exposure. Don't get to see this species much around here, and I've never seen this 1st year plumage.
It does not get much better for a close flight shot of this species Karl. These birds are like missiles! It seems you have nailed the bird before it has gone past you which makes for a better image. The whites on the under belly look accurate. Well done all round! Sadly my local goldeneye frequent a part of the river where the banks are very high and with trees which puts them in shade most of the time and when not in shade they are too high up:(
Edit:-
After reading Daniel's comment regarding the bird's placement in the frame I'm inclined to disagree with him (on matters of composition that would be a rare thing:). I think the bird should not be placed lower in the frame for the very reason Daniel gives as to why it should be. My reason is that, for me, it would skew the perspective a bit IMHO. Of course it is personal choice.
Killer Karl!! Besides the steep shooting angle, This one looks awesome. Nice frame.
