    Sweet light pose, water action, spot on EXP and details. Really love the water. Especially at the top. TFS

    Good and low for this one... And with the monopod...

    Low angle view of the action is very nice, and the detail on the bird looks good. Exposure looks spot on. The water lines and rings are collectively a bit busy for me, but take that lightly as my style is super minimal. I also think the whole image looks a bit washed out. I'm always willing to trade a bit of detail for some extra contrast and punch, but you might be different. I'm not sure how much of is is processing vs. lighting during capture.

    Very Nice Image.
    I like the wing position. I am ok with image.
    I might probably reduce the Saturation in blues a little.

    TFS
