    Excellent landing pose (complete with water droplets), great whites, and the striated background is pretty.

    Love this landing pose with the wings outstretched, and the BG really works to accentuate your bird. The water droplets are a plus. Nice EXP on the bird.

    Excellent exposure mate, and love the wingspread for the incoming approach. Nice and sharp, and love the layered BG.

    Great feather detail and exposure Dumay. Interesting how you have almost equal shadows on both wings.

    Hi Dumay, what a great shot, love the dynamic feel that the birds pose gives to the image, and the tiny water droplets captured in mid-air add to it. Also like the BG a lot, I do think a bit of a magenta cast visible in BG and in the horizontal bands in the blue water, but it isnt unpleasant at all..as I am the only one who mentioned it could just be me
    Very well done in all respects.

    Dumay, so many things to like here...the pose, the feet, whites, comp, IQ....but the BG takes it a notch higher. Good that you got light in the eye.
