    Hey John, nice to have one come in close - tough to do so with this species up here. I like the curious pose and golden water. Looks like the image could use a bit of CCW rotation to me. Some fill-flash, if you use that at times, or some lightening up of the face area would have been good IMO.

    nice low angle but the BG is too bright and a bit distracting IMO, I would tone down the brightness . I agree with Dan re fill flash overall the images where the subject is brighter than the BG have more appeal than the other way round
