Dippers
This was my first time taking pics of these birds, I was amazed how fast they are !! Light was low, they are great fun to watch .!!
took some of them in a small water fall, but they came out blurred due to the light levels.

C&C welcome

Congrats to your first Mark.
I like it. They are difficult to expose.

Lovely Dipper mark, would suggest a trim off the bottom. :toast: :toast:

Great stuff on a bird "doing what they do" for a change. After doing these little bobbers for more years than I can recall I still like them in the water like this one.

Cheers

Very nice shot Mark. Well exposed / processed with plenty of detail. I concur with Philip that a slight crop from the bottom might improve it a touch and although I appreciate that they are part of the environment I would be tempted to clone out the two bright green bits above the birds head.
