I like the feel of this photo, and how there's a lot of detail it you look close. An American Dipper was diving down and coming up with food in Lake McDonald in Glacier National Park, and I panned slowly with it as it rode up and over a wave.

I love the lines and patterns in the waves. The dipper is almost incidental, but it does give a sense of the action.

I absolutely LOVE where you were going with this image. Great vision and planning. What's hurting this image for me are that I can't make out the bird's head and I would like to have seen your bird a little more in the right corner. How much of a crop is this? Not sure what the rules are here about posting another image in the same thread and working on other's images, but if you could post the original, I would love to see it.
