Hi Arash,
This is lovely.
I like the incoming swimming angle and the visible red color of the feet. The eye is so sharp and clear- terrific.
Exposed well for the light and superb IQ in the blacks and whites.
Well done,
Gail

Great picture, Arash. I'm still waiting for my chance to find them close to shore.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Nice low angle, and I like that the foot's colour is visible under the water. Really nice blacks. I could see the subject a little lower in the frame, but super nice all around.

Gotta love the bills on these guys. And they're tough to expose properly in sunlight. Well done, as always. (I could also imagine a sliver taken off the bottom.)

Wonderful and cracking detail. The blacks look spot on. Thanks for posting.
