I've been staring at this for awhile. The water is beautiful but competes with the bird. The bird is nicely photographed but doesn't leap out because of the lovely water. And I think the net result is a busy image. It reminds me of a Leroy Neiman painting... so much color and action that it must be viewed from twenty feet back in order to take it all in. Up close, a Neiman painting is too confusing. And I think if this image were framed and hanging on the wall, it would be excellent. I'm just too close to the monitor to see the whole thing. Tough to explain. So send me a framed version that I can hang on my wall and I'll get back with you.

Such a nice action photography... lovely result at the end... 6/6
