I also like this image a lot Frank. Have we seen it (or something similar) before?
In any event, I like the composition very much; especially the erect neck, with the head almost, but not quite, in line with the neck, and the shadow of the neck leading the bird. What really makes the shot for me, however, is the symmetry of the wake, and how the wake lend a feeling of motion and tempo to the shot.
