    Sameer:

    Good sense of action here with flying water and dangling feet. The shadow cast by the raised wing doesn detract from the front bird and wish the bill of the front bird didn't merge with the head of the back bird.

    I might try to blur the little streak in the shoreline.

    Cheers

    Nice splash, a good EXP and looks relatively sharp, but several problems after that.... The wing position of the front bird is unfortunate as is the shadow on the face. The head of each bird seems to be angled slightly away. Needs some CW rotation.
