very nice, brilliant pose showing the tail superbly, makes it look so strikingly exotic, i particularly like the motion blur at the tip of the tail

Brilliant timing! Composition is perfect too, with the inclusion of the water.

Good job on fitting that tail in, JR. The pose is very good, I'd just like to see a little more water at the bottom of the image, but other than that I'd be well pleased with this one.
