    This image is from Norway. It was a cold January day. I lay on the ice. A little afraid it would crack. But it went well. Image is processed in Lightroom 3 Data: Canon 1D MK III, 500mmL 4.0 IS, ISO200, 1 / 100, F4, 0 Date 23 January 2010

    Geir, very cool image. Your risky behavior paid off as the low angle and the glassy smooth water (ice?) really looks great.

    Cheers,

    This is a beautiful image. I really like the pose & I especially like the water droplets on the bird. I think I would like to see less FG & more BG. WDYT?

    Absolute stunning image,

    Perfect head turn, exposure is right on.

    The only thing I might try is to take a bit off the bottom and sort of pano it.
    Coming back and looking at it again cause I like it so much, I think it could use a bit of CW rotation.

    Great head angle and the textures of the water are amazing...I would like to see some taken off the bottom.I feel there is a bit too much negative space there.

    Beautiful and original. Smooth water looks great, and I love the calm expression in the bird. Agree on just a little CW rotation.

    Amazing shot. Very nicely done by laying on the ice. I feel cold just by looking at those eyes. Respect.

    I like the tweaks you did compared to the one you posted before, but you still need a bit of CW rotation. Enjoyable image!

    I made some changes after feedback. Hope it was wrong of me to submit it again.

    An impressive image. Looks much better than the previous time and it doesn't need any rotation IMHO.
