    Hey Michael, This one is way stronger than the last one. The view of the tail is too good. Same for the near-wing detail. And the wing-in-the-water ripple is fabulous. Head angle is spot on. All that you could have wished for was a complete bank so that you would have had a great view of the dorsal surface of the far wing. SH and EXP perfect.

    Great topside view, Michael. Nice exposure and comp. Water ripple really tops it off.

    Excellent Michael, I really like the sharp details and the topside view. The fanned tail and the ripple in the water puts this over the top.:)

    Really nice Michael. The look-back pose saves the day. The single ripple in the water really makes this image for me. I might add a bit of canvas on the left; the crop feels a little too square to me.
