A lovely image. Great setting. I like the natural colors and the feeling of serenity.

An often overlooked species for some reason, so glad you posted Jim. I have a lot of fun shooting thee guys, especially during mating season, They like to chase ad fight each other. Like the low POV.

Nice find, Jim and a great job handling the straight overhead light. Excellent detail in the Phalarope.

Nice details and great water. I love these guys, but haven't fond them for a couple years.
Really nice image!
