Great pose in nice light with good exposure. I like the water droplets and the feet showing underwater. Well done! Sharon

Very nice! I like all of the flying water drops and the dark BG gives it a little drama.

The water droplets suspended in the air against the dark background is excellent. Good detail on the bird.

Scott, Wish I had an image on file like this. Love the pose and the water drops which give the image a sense of motion. Your DOF is right on so the Merganser is sharp from the tip of the beak to the tail in the back. Exposure is right on also.

Really like the light you had and the flying water really adds the needed action/drama to send this one over the top. Nice work Scott!

Wasn't sure I'd like this much until I saw the larger version. Nice detail with an interesting pose and those water droplets make a big positive difference for me. A little tight but so is my last post - sometimes there are just reasons for it...
