Taken at the end of 05 the colour of the water is actually too big red heavy goods vehicles that are being reflected in the water I do have some with a little yellow in as another vehicle passed.

Nice one Phillip. The reflected red compliments the Grebes eye.

Very unusual, nice capture but the red rather takes the edge of it for me. Looks like serious pollution!

What an unusual image. It appears as one for the arty side of nature. I like it!

What an awesome image Phillip :toast: :toast:

Don't think I'd like the yellow model quite as much, but DC's colour combo request sounds very interesting - have you got any sampler charts I could show the wife? :biggrin: :biggrin: :jump: :jump: :wink:

This works really well Phillip. The colour sets the whole thing off nicely.

Excellent shot. BG colour is a bit too unnarural and not really to my taste for a wildlife pic; but as art - it's great.
