Ofer:

Sharp, well exposed, beautifully elegant pose, good angle.

If the bill had been on the near side of the neck, even better, but lovely as is.

How high above the water level would you estimate your lens to have been?

Cheers

Thanks for your comments guys!
Randy, I assume the lens was about 30 cm above water level.

[Marina Scarr]

Very artistic, Ofer. That water really helps to make your subject stand out here.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Very nice, lots of details. I love the slanted neck pose. I could see a version with less room below.

[dankearl]

Super angle Ofer, I agree that the bill on the front side would put this over the top, but still very nice as is.

[Frank Schauf]

Perfect in every way, Ofer.

[Cheryl Arena Molennor]

Glorious light and nice low angle. Those streamline blues are awesome.
