    Just spectacular, Stuart !

    Love the comp, the exposure, incredible detail and the fantastic hue of the blue water.

    I, personally, wouldn't change a thing ! :)

    Works very well for me, Stuart. I like it for the reasons Bill listed.

    TFS!

    Super image Stu. Something different and I like! Placement of both birds in the frame work so well.

    Stuart, well seen and captured. The calmness and the blue color are awesome. I think a square crop will work best here. Nicely done!

    I really love the presentation, with the repeating birds in a perfect water. No changes for me either :)

    Stu are you so desperate for different subjects that you would crawl through crap? ;)
    Like it a lot, great colours, interesting comp and the glass-like water tops it off nicely

    Beautiful colors and great subject and exposure. I would like to see it as a square crop. Just a touch too much negative space for me.

    Great job here, Stuart. I like the poses in opposite directions and the uniformity of the water.
