Cracking action John and a great reflection to boot :toast:

My only nit is the subject is a bit too central - but hey, that's just my opinion :wink:

Once upon a time I too used to be able to walk on water - where did it all go SOOO wrong :biggrin: :biggrin: :wink:

Nice one John :wavey:

Superb timing, love the way its so close to the water. Great reflection! Nice position of the wings too! Good shot. Only nit is, I'd like a little bit more space to the left of the frame.

I like it lots, it would have been nicer for you to have had slightly richer light perhaps, but great all the same.

Nice John, just a bit tight on the left. Easy to add canvas if you wanted to I reckon :toast:

I think that's a tremendous shot. I like the bright red legs, they really stand out and make the picture for me. Good reflection and water splashes. I know he is side on, but it looks like he is looking at the camera to me. Love it.
