Hi All,

Well I'm sick of packing :biggrin: so as the PC is the last thing to be packed thought I would post a pic. This is from the same session as my Little Grebe images.

All comments welcome

Regards

Rob

Hi Rob other than the water going slightly down hill I really like it.

Hi Rob,

Very nice indeed.
A few degrees anti-clockwise rotation will add the finishing touch.

I like these birds and I like your picture.
Couldn't agree more with the advice re. the rotation.
I suggest you beat yourself about the body with your NPN Wokpod.

Hi Rob

Are there any UK species you didn't photograph over your weekend with Phil? :biggrin:

Another excellent image. I agree a slight CCW rotation to level the water would improve it. No nits really, a shame the reflection isn't a bit more distinct but not a lot you can do about that.

cheers
