    Great moment captured. The splashes add a lot to it. I might try to get the bird a bit out of the center.

    Great splashing action - and it is this very splashing that is the main attention-getter in this image (at least for me). I wish the head was turned in either direction for a better view of one of the eyes. Looks very refreshing!

    I would prefer a better head turn of the bird but the action is fantastic and the splash makes the photo. Please, keep them comming

    The splashes and wing postion are fabulous. Ashame about the algae in the water causing the greenish tones. Do you know the species? (It looks like our Sandwich Tern.)
