I like this image very much. Even though the upper part of the back ground is similar in color to the subject, the subject still stands out from the back ground. It almost looks like back lighting and yet the front of the subject is still well lit. I also like position of the wings and the downward angle of the birds body.
Love the splayed tail, the diving posture, and the dorsal view. EXP and SH good. Wish only that the BKGR were a bit more evenly toned.
