Working in Aberystwyth this week, finished early and managed to get up to the RSPB Ynyshir reserve. First time there so didn't know way around/ viewpoints, best hides etc. Not much around photographically so I had to 'make do' with some Canada Geese. Plenty of ordinary full frame shots but I quite liked this more discreet attempt.
Comments welcome.

Very nice indeed, I would have preferred the BG to be all reeds, but its very nice "as is"

Certainly a different approach.
Nice.

Hi Robert,

Very nice enviro capture! The subject pops so well against the BG!

I like this. Just a bit different and stands out well in the habitat.

I like this but agree with Gary: is a crop to panoramic and then some cloning out of the remaining blue water through the reeds possible?

Nice environment image, would be tempted to clone out the blue water.

I can see where you are coming from with the cloning out of the water. This is an attempt, though I have to admit I'm not particularly good at this.

Sorry, wrong picture, I'll try again. (muppetry award on the way)

I was just going to congratulate you on the most spectacular example of cloning I have ever seen. I like the repost best.
