Hey Jeroen
Beautiful subject and a nice family scene though I think it looks like she might be going downhill a little. A slight reorientation will also get rid of the little dark patch running along the bottom
Cheers
Andy

Great subject Jeroen, but the lightness of the water is letting the shot down a bit for me - pity you couldn't get the bird swimming through some "dark water" instead....
