Photographed at Svalbard (arctic Norway) in early June.

I like the rich colors, pose, low shooting angle, exposure and sharpness.
I might consider trimming just a sliver off the top.
Thanks for sharing.
Cheers

Super low angle, and I like the pose. Not a species Ive seen before, and I like the light and colours. The reflection of the water on the lower chest area adds interest. This is nice and sharp too.
Daniel, Really nice shot. I loved every part of it. Agree with Stuart, the reflection of water adds interest. Cheers. Asif

I appreciate your angle and use of a narrow aperture to keep more of the bird in focus.
