There's no green cast on this so it can't be one of JR's pools. :biggrin: :wink: Excellent timing producing a fine image.

I tried to get a shot like this the other week when I was there and failed miserably so I'm extremely jealous!
Top shot! :toast:

Very attractive shot. I totally screwed mine up last week.Always worth checking your focus limiter switch after you've been on a beanbag!!! Next year, maybe...

Hi Andy, this is a great shot of a beautiful bird. :toast:

Good one Andy. Just one suggestion, in this instance I think it would have been preferable to apply your usual sharpening to the bird but to reduce the amount a little on the grass just in front of the bird.

Very nice indeed Andy.
