Good job Lucasz :toast: :toast:

That PoV is getting a lot better - were you sitting or prone when you took this?

Comp is nice, only it could do with a bit taken off the bottom of the frame to bring the waterline to frame center, and perhaps a bit of extra space on the left.

Looking good though - keep them comming :wavey:

Yeah not bad at all,agree with Andys comments,Crop just below the reflected head and that should help.

Nice shot! Agree with cropping a bit from the foreground, and perhaps a little from the right to decentralize the duck somewhat. The water colour complemeents the colours in the duck`s plumage very nicely.

agree with the above but the ripples suggest also that the horizontal is not quite right....??

Nice colours Lukasz which copuld be improved IMO by levelling, and re-cropping so that the bird is further to the right and halfway up the frame.

Yep we have an uphill swimming mallard... :biggrin:

It is a really nice shot, the crop suggestions are spot on, nice to see a lowish viewpoint from the London Wetlands centre....

Was this with the 2x on the 70-200?
