this is a unique shot, Luke. I like the comp, the great pose, the reflection, and the amazing color and patterns in the water. the one thing I'm left wishing is that the splashing water was sharper.

Luke, my comments are going to pretty much echo Brian's comments. I also wish he water was sharper, but I do like the blur in the wings, so I guess I can't have both things....so it leaves me a little perplexed. I love the reflection and great angle with he grebe coming at the viewer. Nice job!

Needed a faster shutter speed and more DOF, Luke. I like the colors and the comp, but this is one of those "So close, so close" shots...

Nice result. I do like the action, the composition. Maybe a little less contrast could make the image less 'busy'm but other than that I certainly like it Luke ! Best, Hans
