    This image was taken from the side of a small boat on a pond. Loved the pose and light and splash here...unfortunately no more room on the RHS, but I quite like the placement? Would appreciate your thoughts...

    Very nice Morkel I like the splashing water and the trail coming off the tail excellent timing well done.

    Could be at web size but the head is not quite as sharp to me as the trailing spots of water. Still looks great as a behavioral image Mork. Well done mate, you had to be very quick here. :)

    Great reflexes and posture Morkel! The side-lighting has cost a you a bit of detail in the darks.

    Great timing, and I like the arc of water coming off the tail feathers. Placement in the frame works because of the arc.

    Morkel,
    A very "different" image, a pity that the light was not with you a little more.

    I think I may have preferred a little more room in front, but just getting the "moment" was difficult enough.
