That is really very nice John. I love the sharpness of the head and the motion blur of the action in the wings. I like your pool shots as they always throw up something different. Good work.
When I look at it, the movement of the wings carries on in full motion video in my head! Shows how a still picture can evoke something else when you look at it.
your pool shots have a style all of their own John - if every Tom, Dick and Harry were taking shots like this then they might get boring. But until then, keep them coming!
This is another very nice one and I do like the effect of the slow shutter.
Hi John, very very boooooooooring
But a great shot as always. I wish my shots are that boring.

Love this Image John, possibly the reason not many of this type of picture are shown is because like me, when I try this technique the whole bird is a blur
Pleased to hear it John! I love our garden birds, and keep wishing I had a similar pond set up, but couldn't match yours. Great stuff, and I always look forward to the next one.

Either that, or I need to go and have a lie down!
