WALKING ON WATER
MERIT - Wow, what a great action shot! A magnificent bird in the wild. Nice composition with plenty of room for the subject to move into the frame. You have captured the critical moment of touch down. I believe that the highlights on the bird’s back are blown out. A way to avoid this is to shoot in RAW, slightly underexpose for the highlights and use the latitude Raw gives to brighten the dark tones where necessary. Well done.
