Alan, your Eider series has been quite stunning. I am a big fan of ultra low angle...Perfect whites and what a pose. Liked the ROT placement of the in-focus water line.
I do like the tightness but feel a tad more room in front will help.
Such a lovely pose. The lifting of wings show the dark spot on the body which is cool. Love everything about it, the happy look, the eye contact, background and low angle.
