    Bill, impressive banking pose and the green BG really sets the bird off (and is a change of pace from the usual blue water or sky BGs we see with them). The whites on the body look a little hot however.

    I like the pose, and the water coming off the beak. It does look soft and hot to me. Nice bg.

    Agree with Daniel's comments here. I would add that I like the water droplet! I think some more sharpening would strengthen the image. Thanks for posting!

    I really like the pose in this image and the water droplet is a nice touch. But agree that the subject look a little soft..and whites look burnt on my monitor.

    Lovely pose and catchlight but the head is soft. The tail looks much sharper. I agree about the BG.

    Keep them coming!
