Have not had time to post a lot lately due to work obligations and my own Dutch naturephotography forum wich are both consuming me..

Still did manage to get out for a couple of hours yesterday to shoot some BTGW's.

Greetings,

Nice one Jeroen !
My only nit aand its a tiny one is that I would prefer the bird a little smaller in the frame. - but maybe its a full frame shot.
No big deal.
Lovely shot .
Cheers

Not bad Jeroen considering it was ISO 640 and with 2X as well. :toast:

Hello Jeroen.

Well captured, like the pose of the bird and the water droplets are nice. Good backgroud helps the bird really stand out. :wavey:
