Mark, yes, I love the clean lines on this carrying through to the reflection. Nice colours too. :toast:

Lovely behaviour image. Perhaps needs a slight shift to the left, but the PoV really ands to the intimacy of the moment.

Cheers,
Chris

HI Mark.
Needs to be a tiny bit left maybe as CR says, and it looks a smidge light on my gear but I,ve maybe moved the angle of the monitor again.
Great shot though even as you know I don't go for reflections. Mainly because as this shot shows - you have to chop them off or have them all in. Mine never seem to work out right so I keep up a bit. (Also cos I can't get up again !! :biggrin: )
Certainly different though. Some exif info would be good as I presume its pretty dark in the wood.
Cheers
John

Excellent and a really good behavioural image to have captured. The low and intimate viewpoint works superbly here. :toast:
