Beanbag?! It must have been under the water to get so low! This really shows off the bow wave. Great eyes.I see what you mean about the rotation, but I don't think it's a problem.

Thats very nice with a good low PoV, and a determined looking Duck.. I do feel it does need that little bit of CW rotation though.... not a lot... just a shade.

That has to be the exposure knightmare of the bird world, which you've done a good job on.

IMO the rotation thing is a trick of the eye, because the reflection is straight.
