This is such a great capture, i am totally jealous fo this shot, the only thing I would recommend is to darken it a little, or use shadow and highlight to take away some of the brightness.

That's great, superb capture of a beautiful and so very fast bird!

FANTASTIC capture! I really like this shot. Kudos! Not my favorite for shallow DOF, but an excellent case of right spot at the right time! Well done and best of luck in the challenge! Wow!

Wow!!! As this picture was loading and I saw the feet pointing skyward, I knew this was going to be spectacular! Fantastic DOP, sharply focused, excellent colour tones. Well done! Out of curiosity, was this picture rotated or is this a real dive?

One of my 5 favorite in this category. Don't know if this was "right place at the right time" or very well planned, but nice work.

The bird really pops with the choice of DOF though the sparkle in the eye seems to be missing. The diagonal makes the image dynamic though I feel the angle is a little too acute. Also, I would like to see more to give the image context. As it is, the bird is floating with no connection to it's environment.
