Very nice as presented. Excellent sharpness. Great breaking wave. Might be tempted to crop off a bit from right-hand side.

Perfect setting for this bird David. Nicely detailed bird. I always struggle with what to do with the round white spots which show up in this situation. Sometimes I subdue them if they seem too distracting and sometimes I leave them alone. I'd be curious to hear what others do.

The breaking wave in the background adds a lot of interest, and the lighting on your subject is ideal. Very nice!

David, Excellent details and environment. Not sure that the wave doesn't overpower the bird?
