A fine image only nits for me is the snapped off stalk bottom right and a crop to the top to remove the cut leaf. :toast:

This is a lovely shot - don't mind the snapped off reed :biggrin: The damselfly really adds to this image.

I can see where Mark is coming from, but I think just dulling the white, cut edge down would do for me. It is a lovely light on the bird. Nice one Phil.

Excellent image Phil. Really like the lighting and the different shades of green are lovely. Would agree with Mark about the stalk bottom right though. :smile:

Very nicely seen and captured. I think I'm with Mark on this one with regards to the 'tidying up'..

Kind regards,
