such marvelous shapes they make! They look scratched onto the screen.

I'm wondering if a squarer, less vignetted edit would be better.

Terrific bird picture, one of the best I've seen, and would have walked away from the current bird challenge with a ribbon. And tops, in my book, in this high contrast challenge. Sterling stark blacks and whites, then plays with the in-betweens to great effect. Crisp action and rich reflections. I'm not sure about the upper heavy vignette, but it does set off the main show nicely.
Personal favorite.
