Good timing on this "action" shot! It must have taken some patience to wait for this to happen just the way you wanted it to! Well done!

good composition. Only recommendation is to lighten the white fur more. to make it really standout.

I like the chaotic abstract of the shot and yet am still able to visualise the cattail blowing in the wind. You have a couple of blown highlights but they add to the abstractness of the image and add some light to a generally dark image.

took me a sec to see it. but this is pretty good, i like it, nice dof. only suggestion is possibly a faster shutter speed for more detail on the main cattail. i dont know how much light you were working with though.
