I lke the bird's pose and also the swirly patterns in the water above the bird.

A tiny bit tight in the frame but love the shot, and the water ripper's just great. :toast:

Nits mentioned, nice light and detail in the eye/face, great reflection, well done :wink: :wink: :wavey:

Superb detail and reflection. Shame it is so tight in the frame, but hope you've got more image to play with..?

As has been said, a bit tight, but still a beautiful shot, with lovely colours. I like the way it appears to be contemplating its own reflection!

Lovely shot! Great pose and lovely colours. It has a slight artistic feel with the swirly water in the background. Very nice!

Gorgeous image! Maybe a little tight, but not a major distraction.

echo the tightness in the frame - but lovely colours and pose, tack sharp too which is not easy with that lens!

cheers
