Very nice indeed Guy... super detail on a bird that is not always easy to expose correctly for... and a nice setting...

Really very nice Guy, might take out the small lighter 'dots' above the rump/tail of the bird and one just ahead of the beak. Very minor but I was drawn to them.. :smile:

Nice one Guy, not an easy bird to get close to.

Good stuff. The 60th has done the water nicely too.

Not sure what everyone else would say, maybe it's just me being picky but...

the dipper seems a little high in the frame, perhaps nudging it down just about 1/2 inch just to set it off.. That's not to say it isn't a good shot by the way ! I really like it but just a personal preference really, well executed Guy !

Very nice indeed Guy. I can see where Drew is coming from, but I like this and the setting as is.

I think this is great as it is, I like that there is more of the water and moss on show. Well done! :biggrin:
