Taken last year in Australia's beautiful Wilsons Promontory National Park in Victoria.
I gave a talk on my travels down under on Wednesday night to my local RSPB group which gave me a good reason to trawl through my collection from last year. I'd forgotten about a series of shots I'd taken during an hour spent in the company of this fine looking bird early one morning.
Thanks and best wishes

Nice image Paul. I like the frozen wings and detail captured

Nice action capture Paul, and nice clean whites too
Water level PoV would have been superb for this shot
Nice details in the whites. I think I'd have gone for a verticle comp and tried to get the reflection too. As Andy says a water level point of view would also be interesting. Tristan

Great job handling the whites, the details in the wings is great.

I like action and contrast between bird and its dark surrounding make it jump out of the screen.
