He's braver than I am, no way I would go near water at this time of year without a dry suit on. Really like the alert pose and the feather detail in this image. The lighting works well here.

Superb John. Might pay to tidy the multiple highlights in the eye, but to be honest I would never have noticed them once upon a time.
