Christopher you have a lot of very nice images in your portfolio, sometimes the lucky helps a good photographer to take a very good image, this was the magic moment, ciao Giangiorgio, Happy new year.

Hi Chris... This photo is simply incredible!!!... It is my greatest wish to have the talent and ability to take a photograph like this one... You are a gifted photographer indeed... Best wishes... Sally...

An amazing image. Looking through your portfolio, I cannot imagine how you could settle for just one favorite image! Are you sitting in the water with the lens resting on some type of float?

One slight nit-pick if I may, it looks like the image could use about .5 to 1 degree CW rotation.

Great action shot! Best regards, Linh Dinh

Magnífica.....................10

The low POV and reflection make this exceptional, Chris! I can see why this is your favorite... outstanding work!

Whishing you all the best for 2010, Christopher.

 

It's nice to see what is your favourite. I have so many that I like from you that I wouldn't be able to pick one :)

 

Great image, I've been looking at it for a while.

 

So nice, to see the bird at water level, the water drops every where and the perfect white balance and great light, considering the light conditions, the shutter speed and the lenght of you lens!

 

Perfect image, no flaws!

 

Greetings!

Fabulous shot Christopher! Superb timing, excellent composition, perfect focus, and even a good reflection. Well done.

All the best,

Neil

Another fine image Chris. The story adds even more to it. It's hard to pick a favorite from all of the great work you posted here. Keep warm.... (It was 70 something here today..changing to shorts tomorrow ... :-}

Dude,

Really like the sharpness, reflection in water, and "very low" angle/perspective of this image. Looks as if you were standing in the water while shooting this.

Very nice!!!!!!

Excellent!
