Wow! cool timing. A very interesting image to study. I'd be happy with a bit more room at the top and less of the OOF water at the bottom.

Stuart:

Great action from a great bird. 2nd the re-crop. I want to see the feet spraying water better by cropping in and getting rid of a lot of the foreground.

Cheers

Great stop action Stuart. Count me in on the bottom crop too (about 3/4"-1"). Still a great capture.

Stuart:


Fine pose, great sense of action/motion. Good exposure, per others, I agree, screams out for a crop, I would go pano!

Thanks for sharing. As you might gather from my avatar, I like reds.

Lovely action and sharpness, I agree with the idea of a pano crop. I think there are some cloning marks around the primary feathers of the right wing and also in the top left of the image?
