Do you know what John, 339 / 0 is very poor !!! every image has it's merits and every image posted here deserves at least one comment, I like the texture of the radiating ripples and the striking yellow wing bar.
Thanks Andy
I've just come online and seen it and I think its a bug or something .
Cheers
John

As one who has achieved 142/1 so far on my penultimate post I'm beginning to think 'it's not what you know but who you know' . If it's so bad, I wish people would tell me rather than ignore it altogether. In your case John yours are so good it sometimes has the same effect. IMHO
A really good image, perhaps only improved by the removal of the bit of branch to the left.

Another nice image with the 'movement' ripples,as I call them, giving the image a sense of movement/action, good detail To
Very nice work John, and as has been said the water ripples give it that little extra.
Would have been nice to have a slight head turn, but they don't always co-operate!
I would have liked to see a slightly lower angle, but that's just me one thing though, I really must get round to making my self a pool in the garden, for those day's I carn't get out.
Hi John.
Lot's of looks!!!.
Perhaps not your best but still very nice. Mitch.

maybe improved by action in the water whilst bathing? or looking at the camera great to see birds near water always adds a new dimention than on a stick!
As a final comment-
Thanks to the hundreds of you that have looked at my Goldfinch pidcture.
To me it was just a picture.
Thats's what it's all about.
Thanks again

It's not a competition to see how many views or comments you do or don't get on a post. I'll also point out that you yourself add to the views, as do others looking back to see what was said. The view counter doesn't denote x unique viewers.
I know its not a competition about views Nick, but you have admit see there,s something odd about this one! I think I re visited myself about 10 times at the most so that still leaves 490!
Sent you a PM.

I take your point but it's not easy at 80th of a second as once they start they really move.

I like the way the waters' ripples are radiating out from the bird.
