Pochard male
Taken at Stover in Devon this morning. BG consists of foliage on the bank :frown: Not ideal but it was pretty dark where I was shooting.

Comments appreciated

Love the low angle and soft light. You have already identified my only real nit, BG a little distracting!

A great shot Graeme, the low angle is great, the bg I think adds a bit of environment, thats purely personal thing

Well taken

Hi Graeme

A lovely low angle shot of this great looking bird. Background is not too bad, just about out of focus enough to not distract the eye too much. Great colour and detail in the bird.

Nice one :toast:

cheers
