Very nice pose, light and calm water. I would give it more room and the BG is a bit noisy.

[Alfred Forns]

Great points by Axel !!! Love pose and eye contact !! Excellent bg and good light !!!

[Fabs Forns]

Really nice image, Axel really found good points. Keep them coming!

I love the pose you captured here, and the lovely plumage detail. The soft light is great and such a nice clean BG. Adding a little canvas top and right and a little noise reduction on the bg will be easy and will make this fine image even better.

Hi Mike, Other than the noise, this is a spectacular image. The spread wings and the spashdown capture are wonderful.

[Juan Aragonés]

Terrific pose and light. good eye contact and background. I think that a round of noise reduvtion to the BG would improve this excelent image a lot. Very good job!
