Taken last weekend - the last of the sun was lighting up the plants behind the water, giving these fantastic reflections.

Lovely light on this. Nice point of view and composition too. Really like the reflected colours in the water and the way they match the red on Moorhen's bill. Well seen and taken!

Nice one... perhaps a little more in profile, maybe a slight desaturation of the water in the upper portion so as not to compete too much for ones attention.... not sure, just a thought... but like it a lot...
