Sandy: very good action photo and must be seen large to appreciate. There's just a bit of wing blur given the ss, but the head is sharp. Nicely done. Richard

Great pose and I like the reflection, Sandy. whites and colors look great. If this were mine, I think I'd crop out most/all of that little oof island near the bottom as it tends to pull the eye that direction.

Great colors and reflection. I wonder if a crop of the mud at the bottom might help focus the eye more on the bird.
