Got a bit of a thing at the moment about small in the frame stuff which I realise is often a euphemism for 'can't get close enough!'
Very cold this morning in the Highlands and lots of mist over the Spey. A group of 4/5 goldeneye were displaying just offshore at Loch Insh. Mist everywhere, blue light, osprey calling in the background - magic!

Canon 1dII, 70-200mm lens, ISO200

After I uploaded mine I come across yours. Great stuff and I really like the idea.

Well done Peter. The mist works well here.

Lovely image Peter, I know what you mean about small in the frame stuff it always works providing the composition is good which in this case is spot on

Love the choice of composition, and good behaviour caught too.

I can feel the mood here. In fact I spent a happy few hours doing the same thing at Loch Tummel this weekend. Nice rising mist for a short time. Got some nice shots, but not the one in the mist I hoped for.

Very nice indeed. Small in the frame works superbly here.
