The best part of the contest experience for me are the many wonderful and generous comments I have received. Thanks to all of you for making my efforts in photography meaningful.

Extraordinary shot Don! If you're selling prints, I'd love one.

Your gift should be shared - for the sake of saving the beasts of the earth... and the earth.
Practically speaking, you should be working for National Geographic.
I have never seen a photograph with so much movement, contrast, and detail all at once.
Struggling to find the words to express my awe and appreciation -
Astonishing! just - - thank you.

Practically perfect photo! I would love to buy a copy to frame and hang. Until Katrina washed away my home, I watched and photographed these extraordinary birds in the lagoon in my Mississippi gulf coast back yard. All my photos are gone, along with the house and the lagoon. How can I get a copy?

One of those photos that catches the eye long enough to pause, take reference, ooh and ah, and start all over again. Stunning...best of luck.....MORE!

Walking on water is not so hard! Capturing it is!

This is an outstanding photo. The composition draws one directly into the picture's atmosphere, and the timing is exquisite. I hope to see more of this man's work in the Smithsonian magazine.

WOW! Amazing photo! Absolute proof that good things come to those who wait! Need to see more like this! I can tell that this isn't just a hobby! There is a passion needed to be patient enough to get this shot! Great Job!
