Very nice portrait indeed.I like the way the reflection fades out towards the base of the image and the way the bird is moving towards the viewer. Very nice indeed.

That's a great shot Nigel - I really like the gradation of tones down the frame and the bird is spot on

Nigel, this is a lovely image. Really like the ground level POV and as said the reflection really sets this image off. Well done

I've just come back to this after a couple of days Nigel and I like it even nore now than I did then.

Like Robert I first looked at this a couple of days ago and then I couldnt make my mind up re the reflection, my initial thought were that I would have preferred it to be sharper. Looking again now I think it works fine.
A lovely shot.

Hello Nigel.
Very nice the composition is just right for this shot and love the light on the bird with the dark background.
