Very nice pose. Looks like image is little dark and i dont see any details in black. May be play a little bit of levels and S/H?

Very nice composition.

[Judy Lynn Malloch]

Great pose and wonderful timing John but I agree with Sid's comments about the lack of detail in the blacks. the exposure is good as well as great eye contact. thanks for sharing !

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Great pose and angle. I agree on the contrast and it has a slight warm color cast.

[Bob Malbon]

J, For me it is a perfect behavior capture. Bob

[Manos Papadomanolakis]

I agree with Axel!

[Blake Shadle]

Very nice capture. I agree about the levels and cast. When I first saw this I thought he was about to blast off like a rocket, made me laugh. :)

[Linda Robbins]

Excellent behavior and pose captured and I like your composition and low angle. A shadow highlight adjustment will improve the detail in the blacks as well as lighten the water a bit. Very nice!

[Simon Bennett]

Extraordinary behaviour illustrated here John - well done.
