This is the last in the mini-series - from yesterday evening just minutes before the sun set. A pair of divers calling overhead is what has cajoled this one to react. POV as low as I could get without drowning.

Canon 1dlln, 300mm, ISO200

Really like the symmetry of this and the ripple pattern on the bird.

Excellent shot and love the saw tooth pattern offset by the horizontal ripples.

Nice. Think you could have gone that extra mile and employed a snorkel though!!

Now that's more to my taste Pete

I'd like to see an even lower PoV - if you'd have asked you could have borrowed my floating hide and gone mega-low
