Superb color, detail, and light.  I like the birds activity.  The texture of the splash is wonderful in the larger image.

Nice one!  I like all the action in the water, and how well the bright colors show up on the Oystercatcher.

The waves really make this image, Chuck.  The Oystercatcher is a nice touch too.

Excellent capture Chuck. Love the suspended water drops and the wave action on this.  It's a great look at the Oystercatcher, nice feather detail.
