Maybe a Common Greenshank, but an uncommon image. Just great. Well done.

Awesome image - beautiful golden colors too. I wish the top 1/3 of the image wasn't stark white though

This is pretty sweet Rob. Nice light and soft reflection really makes this work for me. I do wish the tonal change didn't intersect with the birds head though.

Hi Rob, again, lovely simplicity to the image, good call on the reflection. The striking yellow makes for an interesting environment.

Rob this is a great piece of work, wonderful colours. Could do with some of your Australian light over in this country.

You manage Rob, to take common birds (in your neck of the world) and present them as anything but. Excellent work. Cheers!

Love the contrast of sharpness between subject and surroundings and the highlighted water.

Love the colors of the liberal surroundings you have framed, Rob - up to your usual high standards. Good example of how the environment can work well with the subject in a pleasing way. Nice work :toast:
