quite like this, love the setting, have you got a vertical shot with the reflection of the bird in where it isn't flying

Works for me. Nice setting too. :smile:

Snow sets a whole new scene and had this been without would have not had the same effect.
Unusual Craig.

I have to agree that the snow lifts this shot out of the ordinary. I can't quite make my mind up on this one.

Oh yes I like this one. Very very much. Really arty, yet retaining a great sense of place. I think this is a lovely image, compositionally and in terms of the lighting. Hats of to you sir for a memorable image.

It took me a minute ot two to work out what I was looking at, but having done that, I do like it. I think it would have been even stronger if the bird had been nearer to either edge. The fact that the wings are blurred is just fine - one of these visited my pond today, and I marvel at anyone getting a shot of one in flight!
