    Love the pose, the IQ , low POV and the species.
    Just wish the little sandbar behind him was not there. Hmmm, perhaps that is a little wavelet?
    I am viewing from my laptop at the cottage so my critique may not be spot on!

    Dan:

    Agree with Gail's thoughts. I do think the area just below the breast is a ripple, showing the rocky bottom beneath it.

    Although the whites overall look good, I might consider lowering the luminosity just a bit on the area just under the wing edge. Not blown as posted, but I think you could tease out a bit more detail.

    Lovely low POV, details and colors. Agree the properly exposed whites could give even more detail. TFS

    The low angle is right on. I like how the foot is about to come out of the water. The blue water background is another bonus.
