Hi Phillip

An excellent composition with good soft light. I would be tempted to tidy up the water surface and clone out the small white feathers on the surface. Also the twigs in the foreground are not adding much and could be cloned out.

It reminds me of my Martin Mere visit last year in November, I have a visit planned for mid December this year so fingers crossed for good weather this time around and not the pea soup fog I got last year.

cheers

Hello Philip
Great image, I believe the Icelandic mud can cause this discolouration until it washes off.
Best wishes

Yep, it looks like Icelandic make-up :wink: . Good lighting and nice composition. A bit of tidying up as per previous comments will make it a real cracker.
