    I really like the brightly refelected splash, very cool! Might need a slight CCW rotation, and I wish the whole wing reflection was included. Orange colors in the water are very appealing.

    This is very nice Manos. The water splash is great and the action too but I would prefer to see the complete reflection on the heron to have a more balanced composition.:)

    Colours, silhouette and splash are very nice in this image Manos. Some of the bright water drops almost look like bubbles. Nits already mentioned.

    Very nice, Mano. Agree on the rotation, and maybe cropping some of the reflection off would balance it.
    Great colors :)

    Great colors and nice crystal look to the water. I wish the bird appeared less centered, but cropping from the left might crowd the wing too much?

    That was my first thought cutting down the reflection It is not a strong reflection and detracts from the image I like it much better Love the bold colors and the frozen water droplets !!!!

    An exceptional shot. I do agree that perfection would have been a full shadow.
