Great detail and depth of field. A polarizer could have cut down the glare on the water a little more to help isolate the subject.

Great nature shot!

nice idea, comp ok, color ok, light ok, too much negative space on top, great texture, nice dof, b&w need work, overall not interesting

Great timing to capture such nice detail in the wings. Really nice shot.

Again I say, the right place at the right time.....

A nice capture. Unfortunately where I live the Canada Goose has become a problem bird, they mess on everything. And by the waves circling outward he is simply drying his wings...not landing.

Good catch, black areas on face and neck are a little too dark

hard shot

Nice capture, love the details to the feather, especially on the wings. Good color and lighting. I would have preferred the picture to be longer instead of taller with more empty water in front of the bird, of course that is just my opinion and I don't know what you had to work with. Overall and great photo.

superb detail on the wings...great stop action!

The sharp focus on every feather makes this special.

From experience, I know how difficult this is to capture. The texture and detail in the wings is incredible. Only thing I don't like is the rather dull nature of the water. Try using some creative methods to give the water some more color and life.. maybe a sunset glow or a boost of some kind.
