Cool action and the lighting is pretty good. It looks a touch crooked to me and I wish for more room on the bottom then the top.

The position of that left foot is just weird, Michael. I like it.

Michael, My eye is drawn to two places - the wonderful eye of the species and that convoluted foot. I also like the good look at the occipital plumes and the flying water droplets. I think I agree with Luke's comp suggestion, given the direction the bird is going in the frame.

Michael,
I like the raised foot, the action, flying water droplets, the way the plume is laying against the neck and the great look at the red eye.

Nice implied movement, and very good exposure and sharpness.

Wonderfully captured, Michael. Great work on the exposure.

Excellent job Michael. I love the detail of the eye and plumage as best appreciated in your larger photo. Well done!
