Autumn really does make for some nice colours on the water for bird shots. I like the dynamic posture of the bird. Tristan

Ooo.......class shot Andy :toast:

Stick at bit more canvass on the right to release the wing tip from the frame edge and the comp will be superb :wavey:

If you go into shadow highlight adjust and start increasing the highlight radius and amount I'm certain you'll pull a lot of those blown whites back.

Worth a go buddy as this one cool image - nice one with a super PoV :wavey: :wavey: :wavey:
