Nice capture Sandy. I like the soft light, double dip in the water and the decision to crop as a pano.

Beautiful frame. The light is excellent. I like the choice of pano crop. The splash really adds a lot to the story.

Sandy,
The Gull has a marvelous position, this must have been a difficult crop, but i think it works well, Tiny fish is the icing on the cake

Great action, love the two splashes in the birds wake & pano comp Sandy.
The reflection with the fish-n-beak seals the deal!

Beautiful image Sandy. I like the lighting, comp, and splash which really highlights the action in this image. The reflection adds to it. Great job Sandy!
