I did'nt even notice the slop on the water until I posted this,and then it was to late. So heres the repost hope you find it better. :wavey:

It's taken me a few moments to realise that the 'SLOP' in the water was actually a typo :biggrin:

I was looking for crap in the water :biggrin:

Nice behavioural shot Guy :toast:

Great shot Guy, I really like this one. Where was it taken, if you don't mind me asking?

Hello Greg.
The image was taken at Shell Island in north wales. It was taken in late August at about 7.30 am. You can get some great light as the sun comes up right behind you.
Hope this helps. :wavey:

Hi Guy,

I really love shots like this. Absolutely cracking! Well done.

Excellent image Guy. I don't think the slope is that apparent as it could be a swell of a wave... either image is great. Nicely done :toast:

No slop and no slope in the second shot Guy. :biggrin:

This is another species on my hit list for the year. Lovely lighting and the positioning and interaction is superb.
