I didn't add a white vignette; that effect was just from the light on the water. Not an exciting subject, I know, but I still like how this came out.

i like that beautiful blur shape up top. I feel like there's a little too much dead space but the center is fantastic. I crop it to portrait orientation with my hands and I think it looks better.
Beautiful photography, Subtle and strong in your choices with these beautiful animals. You took 2 entirely different elements, wildlife and photographic sense and brought them together for a gorgeous image.
