Hey Paul
I really like this, especially the dip in the water behind the bird (what is the bird by the way?). Could do with a slight ccw rotation though but otherwise beautiful and well caught.

Hi Paul
Like Andy I like the dip behind the bird - Black-Necked Grebe?
It's a tad central for me but a nice pose nonetheless.

Hi Paul,
Agree with the above re the comp and rotation, but a great capture and super light bringing those colours alive.
Cheers,
Lewis.

Nice image Paul. As mentioned, it is a little central but the pose more than makes up for that.
Cheers,

Very nice,
the more you look at this, the more you see more of the very nice detail.

Beautiful image! Maybe a little central, but I wouldn't want to lose that lovely dip.

Captured the action excellent.
