Great action captured with excellent blacks and beautiful light. Not a fan of the wing position though.
Their pupil seems a lot more defined than the OCs we see here, where pigment bleeding make it weird sometimes.
TFS.
Awesome shot Buddy! I like the wing position and flying water drops very nicely done Ofer.
I like the wings as well, makes it look like its is really accelerating. Cool low shot! My only thing is the background seems a bit overpowering.
Amazing shot, congratulations...
For me, its just perfect...
Very nice Ofer. beautiful light, exposure and detail. For me the wing position fits the running action well and the splashing water is a nice addition. TFS

I would like it if he were headed toward you a little more. That said, awesome action, angle and exposure. Love it!
Feet, splash, water color, and pose all spectacular. While I am not usually a big fan of this wing position it works perfectly with this dynamic pose. My only wish is that the bird were angled slightly towards rather than slightly away from your position.

Agree with the above comments and I still think it is a spectacular shot. I can only congratulate you here, Ofer.

Ofer, I love the action captured and the very close perspective. Very nice details and exposure.
It´s great action image!!! Congratulations
The way to go !! Ofer !! Superb image, Ofer !! In particular the BG behind the head and shoulder region really adds to the impact as of course does the leg action and water droplets.
Very dymanic preentation.
Best regards
