Nice and sharp Alan and a great reflection :toast: :toast:
Personally I'd have gone landscape with this but it's still a nice comp :wavey:

Hi Andy

I shot this in portrait anyway, so i cant crop to landscape form(if i did i'd loose the reflaction).

Thanks for the comment :toast:

Nice shot, I like the refection and the detail in plumage. Very sharp too.

I like the colour here Alan. Shame it's eye's shut, but it looks like it was expecting to get it wet :biggrin: I personally would have gone landscape but I think this works due to the reflection. Nice :toast:
