Excellent wing flapping pose. The golden water sets it off very nicely. Congratulations.

Great bird, pose, light, BG, and action. No nits from me.

Superb shot Under this light! Lots of détails in the feathers too.

Love the low angle and water color.

Well done!

Can't be any better than this. Fantastic wing pose, awesome sharpness. The color of the water is wonderful.

Do you miss a D4s or at least 11fps for those kind of shots?
