Lots of action with good sharpness and nice wing position. I only wish that the bird was pointed more towards us.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Ditto Doug. I love the foot positions on these waterfowl take-off frames and this one is no exception.

[Marina Scarr]

Super running pose and position of the foot and wings. I'm good with the angle.

[Bill Dix]

Great takeoff shot with the running feet and dragging tail. Well captured, Karl.

Really caught the action with this one Karl,think running on water fits the bill.

Hi Karl, well timed for the take off, and great that you captured the fully raised wings. I like the trailing tail in the water, together with the flying droplets. Overall, well exposed too.

[Satish Ranadive]

Magnificent image. Beautiful action captured. Very nice wing position, lovely colors, flash of water and nice composition.

Regards,
Satish.

[Jonathan Ashton]

Lovely shot I would suggest bring down the brightest highlights just a little, I think it will make a big difference.

[William Dickson]

Great take off shot Karl. Nice POV as well
