The three very different expressions on the girls' faces make this shot a high scorer for me. Great job!

Nice Sillouette. Maybe try making the blacks just a bit blacker to erase all detail. Is this Tidewater? I miss living over there.

This is a classic shot. Excellent image for content, composition, and technically just right.

Comment by vlado:
Great composition... I love that you've captured the full wingspan and cropped it so that they go from corner to corner. It's only a shame that it's such an ugly bird and it gets lost somewhat in the dirty water below... not things you have any control over, I know... but perhaps explain why an otherwise great shot didn't do better with the voters perhaps.

Judging by the look of the girls, it did work to some extent to catch their attention - great capture of their looks.

Nice lighting. The background is a bit "busy."

Show-off: Are you talking about the guy-- or the girls?? ;-)

It got an 8 from me.

Now had you captured the blood, guts & feathers churning up in the wake, I would've given it a 10. ;-)
