beautiful shot and lovely reflection

Posted by Robert Lawrence on March 15, 2010 at 4:15 PM

Very nice indeed Andy. Personally I think the mallard has done you a favour on this one as the slight movement in the reflection has helped to keep attention on the actual vole. Dead still water with a perfect reflection can often be a bit distracting. Great image.

Superb capture, and the reflection is the icing on the cake!
