Good timing to catch the action, Arno. I might raise the black point slightly and darken the mid tones as the image looks a little bright which is washing out the darks.
Tony's excellent repost illustrated my major concern. This needs a crop from the bottom leaving only a small portion of the body; the large but incomplete reflection of said body makes the image bottom heavy for me. Very sharp and a great running pose.

The pose is excellent with both feet visible. Crop is always tough one with these and this one is very good. Is there a slight color cast? or maybe its just the light. Agree with Artie on crop. Would have been significantly better with lower angle IMO but that is not always possible and catching this action panning at high fps while lying flat is also quite tough. The "Coot run on water" is harder than it seems....well done Arno.
IN FULL FLIGHT
