 Taken while looking for centered boat reflections at Queens Cliff Marina (Australia), needless to say none of my centred boats made it. I think its called a Herin? but I really have no Idea.
Sharped, croped and a little color adjustment.

Beautiful colors. And really like the blur, as well as composition and colors. And subject...I guess I could go on, but I won't.

Everything about this is great. 10. And I normally don't like bird photos either. So it must be good. :)

The use of motion blur and angled orientation works well for me. This is an interesting image that stands out from the crowd.

Couldn't work out what the apparent motion blur was at first, but I guess it's just the out of focus water, yeah? The tilt absolutely makes this: balances the composition nicely, allowing those shapes to give movemnt through the frame rather than blocking them all to one side and one edge. Good work there - wonder how many comments will criticise it? Either your processing or your exposure causes me some problems though - the eye is so dark it feels like a 'wrong' photo - and the eyes are essential in almost all wildlife photos. Perhaps if you'd under-exposed and then brought the highlights back in post-processing? Might give you more range of detail, without losing that level of contrast completely. 6

In my humble. it dosn't work at this angle, keep waiting for him to go arse over tit
but i'm fairly new to photography so its a very humble opinion. Its still a good sharp shot

not sure about the rotation. it actually throws the balance off a little, though i generally like that kind of thing. great image though, nice and sharp, with lots of contrast and detail. P
