    Looks great Vivaldo! Awesome light and exposure control, nice low shooting angle and sweet BG. Maybe a bit off the top.

    Well timed for the take off Viv, and overall, sharp, and well exposed. Good job with the high ISO. Would like to see the next frame.

    Startling sharpness and color. That light is too good. What a beautiful shot.

    Magical image this one. Calmness of the water and the take-off position are so well complementing

    Both frames are stunning in their own ways. Low shooting angle, low light angle...and that pose and perfect exp. on whites....huge WOW factor as well. Well done as usual.

    In the first frame, I think the near wing can be a little darker and will increase the impact.
