    Love this species. Love the perfect EXP and head angle, the near wake, and the raised crest. I wish only for more room all around especially in front of the bird.

    Beautiful bird and I really like the look of the water. A touch more room in front would work for me.

    Hi Jeroen, nicely handled as ever with great detail, you've got to love that head. Another vote for more room all round to allow the subject to breathe a bit more.

    Beautiful bird, caught with fully raised crest and good HA. Techs good. Another vote for some room, especially top and left.

    Another beauty Jeroen! I like the raised crest, colours, sharpness and complimentary BG. Another vote for more room top and left.
