Several of you kind people wished to see a less cropped version of this. My preference is for the cropped version - no accounting for taste!

Well, Roger, I was one of the people who asked for the uncropped version, and I'm glad I did. I liked the previous more intimate view, but I prefer this one with the full reflection. Drop dead gorgeous. :toast: :toast:

Roger,
I am assuming you like to show off ! This assumption is based on the fact that many of us are trying to post our very first ever Avian Image that is worthy of a WP and here you go and post an even better version of last week’s WP.
Well Done . . . :toast:

I like this version even better Roger. On top of having the full bird reflection, I think the colors from the trees reflecting show up even better for some reason. Didn't know the other got the WP until I read the two posts before me, so congrats on that as well.

I must admit, Roger, that I'm one of those who prefer not having the tail chopped off. I really like this version.

Well done.

It is a question of taste Roger, I like both versions and it is nice that you had the room to un-crop the image. :toast:

This image appeals to me even more than the first one, and I thought the first one was outstanding. Thanks for sharing.
