I think if you hang out at this spot much you will get better flap images than this one....
Not a great HA or wing position.

A nice solid image.
Light is getting a bit bright but not an image killer.
I like your POv and the HA is fine for me.
Wing flap is nice,

Looks good to me, nice light accurate colours and well detailed.

Love this pose with the frozen disturbed water and the droplets on the breast. Perhaps another round of sharpening on the head. Only wish you had closed down a little. TFS

Hi John, all depending on which image one chooses in a burst, one decides which one is best - I like both the wing position, and raised head. Colours look good, sharp where it counts, and I like the colour of the water too.
