I love the perspective here, and the shadow is way cool! Perhaps a bit of CCW rotation, and I see what appears to be a clone mark just a bove the far wing's top primary? Good job with the whites, although the front edge of the front wing could be ever so slightly toned down, and I like the downward wingstroke.
Like the image design and the shadow is cool too. Had you been sitting, you might have been able to place the bird entirely against the water and avoid the merge of the bird and the shoreline... The blacks on the bill look pretty blocked up but you did a good job with difficult lighting conditions and a tough EXP.

That is one wicked bird. I love it. The pose is excellent, and the low
flight position is very cool. The shadow adds a lot too.
Agree about lower angle, but not bad at all as presented.
Excellent, congratulations!
Hi thanks to all, The shoot as made in South Africa in West Coast N.P. from the hide.
I have some doubt abot the front because the head not is very clear from the body (my english is bad...)
