Very artistic, and I like it. The spots on the water are a little distracting; I'd clone them out. Furthermore, as someone who takes landscape shots, reflections are typically darker than the what's reflected. So, I'd expect that the top half would be lighter than the bottom.

Hi Mervyn
Lovely shot,black and white makes it stand out,I like the way the body gently disappears into the background,would agree with Ron about the spots on the water but nevertheless lovely image,well done.

Hi Mervyn,

I like the job you did on converting thie to B&W - nice tonal range! I also like the simplicity of the image and, of course the reflection is great. While I see why the others made the suggestion to clone out the white spots on the water, they don't particularly bother me and I certainly wouldn't clone them out. My biggest nit with this image is not being able to see a larger version that's actually larger (which means it's really not a nit at all!).

Cheers...

Thanks for sharing this...

Brad

Nice Zoo-shot Mervyn, very artistic looking in B&W with that lighting and the inclusion of the full reflection. :toast:
