Young Moorhen,Leeds Liverpool Canal,Crossflatts, West Yorks.Sept06.

Hi everyone - I was walking along the canal on the way to the local supermarket when I came across this. Just got two frames and then the moment was gone. The red is reflected from a large red lorry parked by the canal.

Techs 1D2n 400mm F5.6 800th,ISO200, FF.

What do you think?

I wouldn't normally be too keen on this 'cos of the high PoV - but the situation just had to be captured didn't it - surreal stuff John :toast:

The colours are fantastic - from a landscape point of view I'd be photographing the reflections on their own rather than the duck as it could make a great abstract water shot. I really like how you can see the ducks feet through its shadow. Tristan

Contrast between cold blue and warm red is great. And dark bird is a perfect eye catcher. POP atish it is, but I like it never the less.

Cheers,
Marko
