I really like this shot John. Looks like the bird is lost in thought.

Nice one John but for me personally thie PoV here seems a touch high, perhaps exagerated by the partially clipped reflection (I know you are not fond of reflections, but I thinkl including the whole here may have helped it).

Still a lovely sharp image that shows the bird well...

Very nice, like the pose. Excellent sharpness and detail as per usual!

Thanks all.
Phil .
A lower POV would make it worse. The reflection would come farther down but the other thing is , that the edge of the pool is a blurred line along the bottom which cut off the reflection anyway. Good point though. As I say I can't alter the hide without a lot of work and disturbance.

Another great image at the pool John,

You must have enough superb images to produce a book of species over the seasons....

Another quality pool shot John, really like the meniscus where the tail is touching the water, excellent detail too.

A super looking image John.Very nice colours & details.
I do like reflections in an image but dont think less of them without.
