    Nice capture Sandy. I like the dance and the color balance. Some of the whites are a little hot, but not over. You handled the direct sun quite well.

    Great action captured, neat blue B and FGD. Love the raised foot. This coulees also make a nice horizontal.
    Whites look OK on this end, but of course, it's nighttime, so cant be sure.

    Sandy, super posture, and the raised leg adds. Overall nice and sharp, and I like colour of the water.

    Cool pose, good sharpness and I like that you included the reflection. If it were mine, I would crop some off the top and add canvas on the left, and agree on toning down the whites.

    Sandy, Beautiful pose and sharp details. I agree w/ toning down some of the whites just a tiny bit. I do like seeing them white.
