Very nice indeed. Love the sense of scale between the bird and the cascading water.

Good stuff indeed - you've done really well to find a nestsite in such a picturesque setting too so I'm sure you're making the most of it

Hello and thank you for your comments.

Sorry for got to put thr F stop in. The image was taken at F19, this was needed to get the water flow right. :wavey:

Sorry looked at the wrong EXIF this one was at F11. :confused:

Excellent......
Posted by Vincent Jones on April 19, 2008 at 11:37 AM
I echo everyones comments in everyway but there is one bit of the image that is distracting & that is the slight over-sharpening of the moss rock the Dipper is sat on, left hand side. This might be my eyesight or my monitor though.

Great image Guy :toast: :toast:
