Shelducks doing what they do best
1D2n, 600mm f4 is x1.4, 1/800s, f8, iso 400. Taken at sunrise as mist lifting.

Thought I would try something different. I like it for some reason, perhaps because it reminds me of the peace and tranqility of the moment. Of course it might do nothing for others! Honesty is appreciated otherwise I will never learn.

I quite like this, but I think a vertical crop would make the shot work much better for me - at the moment there is too much space to the right

cheers

Interessting shot.
The reflections would make a crop as Colin suggests a bit difficult maybe.
Nice though.

The moment was yours Ian and sometimes it is difficult to portray that to others, but at least it was yours and no one can take that away. I can relate that to circumstances of my own and for that the image says something. :smile:
