What I like the best with this photo is the fantastic reflections in the green and shiny water, and because of the perfect stop action, also how well the splashes are captured. Even the smallest drops are standing out well.

Your photo is of course also nice and sharp with clear and well defined details, and the exposure is spot on. Nothing wrong with the exposure either.

I like the cropping and the placement of the bird at the top. It makes for a good balance in the composition. It is a great looking and well taken photo Willie, and I wish you luck with the contest.

Amazing capture, Willie! What a great post to start off the New Year here on FAR! The initial impact for me is your stop action clarity! Very nicely accomplished! Your water reflections are second...as you have very artfully framed this composition to include those below the action. Well done all around...initial capture and post processing! Thank you for sharing and best of luck in the contest! Happy New Year! See you around FAR! :D
