The water drops made this one fro me great tight comp, great fish pose, lovely colors, detail and light, congratulations!

Fantastic capture there Sinh! I love it. Razor sharp and the water drops are the icing on the fishcake. :D

If you wish, you could blend in the dark patch near the ULC.

And welcome aboard!

Amazingly sharp Sinh, and love the intense look of the heron. I would try and lighten the poor fish a bit, and would wish for more room on top. Great capture.

Excellent sharpness, I'd prefer a lower angle, also it looks a bit dark and too blue on my screen, can you birghten up a little bit?

Hi eNhut, lots of detail from the 400/56. Nice job exposing both the blacks and the whites. I second the lower angle critique. Andy
