    Quite the loverly swimming pose. I like that the animal is look up at you. Adding a bit of canvas below with the small missing bit of the reflection might be a good plan. SH, EXP, and basic image design are all spot on.

    I like this a lot, the colour of the water enhaces the calf.

    Hand-held at 1/250 with this lens is beyond my capabilities:)

    It would be great if you could somehow complete the reflection.

    Impressive both technically and compositionally. Agree with aforementioned remarks regarding the reflection.

    Well done Mike, with your comp, as well as shooting the 500f4 handheld at 1/250s. The calf's ears, eyes and nose are all sharp, and I especially liked the little waves and swirls of water in front of the animal. Well done.
