Nice sense of motion with the pushed water, good head turn and nice detail. Nice! Sharon

Nice contrast of the bird against the water with that big bright and bold eye. I like the sense of movement conveyed as well

I agree with the others comments, Sandy, and I love the colors and textures in the water.

Nice colors in the eye and the water. Better than I could mange under those conditions.
