I like the wing position, but there is a little too much comotion here for me. At the very least I would get remove the tail in the UR corner. You are on the right track adding to the left but the image still feels backwards to me. That said, you did a nice job actually capturing the BIF
These images can work but the strong back light is hampering. Light water is attracting my eye and then it goes for the darker duck !!
Cropping wise would work with more room behind to show the entire splash, don't mind images with the main action being behind the direction of movement !!
Did catch a great wing position and timing was just fine !!
Excellent moment capture, love the wing position and the splash help with the taking off feeling. However the water is too bright, it takes all the attention away from the darker duck.
