You've caught that really well, Phil. Lots of nice details there especially the eye and the water droplets. I always seem to get my chances at these in harsh light amd the first thing that goes is that pale patch at the base of the bill. Very nice.

Excellent detail in this one.
A tiny bit big in the frame for me but very good.

Great stuff! I agree a little more space would be good - especially if you could include more of the ripples on the right.

On and off I have been trying for this shot all spring. Although I would personally like to see the bird just a little smaller in the frame, any criticisms are more out of jealousy than anything else.

A good, sharp and detailed image of a very appealing bird. :toast:

Great shot. I love these birds. A bit of a head turn would be nice but it's great as it is.

Hello Phil.

Lovely little bird, and some very nice detail you've captured here. Also think the colour of the water works really well with the birds body.
