Congratulations Bryan on a fantastic shot. I like the frozen action, the shallow dof and (obviously) the subject! Thanks for the recognition & link.

Nice wildlife capture. Although some might like more saturation or contrast, I like the muted tones.

great framing and great use of line, horizontals contrasting with diagonals contrasting with tiny verticals.

This is probably one of the best duck shots I've seen on this site. I usually hate duck shots, but not this one. 9

Pretty nice, great image quality for sure, I gave it an 6. However, this isnĀ“t a particularly interesting shot for me as I have seen so many other like it, needs something extra for me to go "wow".

9 - Excellent capture. Good fit for username. Criticism; not much, maybe 640 height too, but you might lose the 'sailing/horizontal' effect, so not sure. Nice colors, especially the whites/grays/silvers. To really nit-pick, perhaps a fraction more detail in the wings/feathers/texture, but difficult, and obviously an opportune capture. Like the water drop(s) capture. I am sure this size doesn't do the quality in this justice. Up to 9 from 8.

WHEW! I almost copied this exactly! Nice capture!

I love how the feather's texture mimics the ripples in the water. What a clear capture. Very nicely done.

Very nice. The background really adds a lot of interest without being distracting.

He does look a bit as if he's sailing, doesn't he? Nice capture.
