When this photograph presented itself early yesturday morning,the first thing I saw was this 'butterfly' shape that the coot and the reflection made,I waited for the bird to look my way so I could catch one of their beautiful eyes in the morning light,I wish I could display it large as the colours and detail are stunning.

I like this Craig, very simple! Like the subtle ripples.

Cheers,

Lewis.

Hi Craig, ripples are excellent and the light on the breast is beautiful.

I don't know if a slightly lower POV would have helped. It might have ruined the reflection.

What makes this for me are the ripples

Very nice image and very well spotted. I agree about the ripples and would also love to see it bigger.
