    John:

    Great timing, like the splash, reflections, exposure.

    I might be tempted to crop in a bit from top and left, if the image quality will hold up.

    Cheers

    The size of the splash makes this one work. Just to clean up the frame I would certainly remove the spots in upper left corner. The heron is nice and sharp!

    Outstanding action, John! Bird is tack sharp, ad I would clean up the spots as Daniel mentioned. I would also crop in a bit more on all around as you have the detail on the subject and that will make the splash pop even more!

    Agree with all the suggestions mentioned above. The spots are definitely bothersome but easy to remove. Love the splash. Very nice!

    Great action frame and nice details and light. I agree re: cropping in a bit and cloning out the spots as they draw the eye. Love the reflection. TFS
