I like the way the light is playing on the water and the upright stance of the bird. Nice catchlight. I have no idea what the background is. Good blur.

Great low angle and I very much like the bg too. Here's a wild guess - is it a fire? :toast:

Nice one Michael! Low angle works great and I'm going to guess building in the BG......but wouldn't bet the house on that as it looks great!

Very cool shot Michael and love the BG. It does sort of look like a fire, but doubt you would be so close to a fire and where is the hazy look in the shot? I would guess tree colors changing perhaps?

The background is a rusty old pipe!

Very nice, Michael. I like the upright posture.
