Bathing Turnstone

Again, good detail, clarity & sharpness Graham, looks like you have taken to the new PP :biggrin:

For me I would like to see less at the foot and a tad more above the bird, as I feel it's just a tad too central within the depth of the crop. Nice to see the catchlight too. :toast:

This works nicely IMO. I like the ripple around the bird at the base and the water droplets being lifted up as the bird washes. Its very easy not to get a reflection with this type of shot...

Very nice Graham, a superb pov and reflection, and the water droplets are a bonus.
