One from today although I did try to get it more out in the open unfortunately they point blank refused to co-operate.

Very nice and very envious as I was just thinking this morning how good it would be to witness and photograph this. One day perhaps :smile:
Again, and as mentioned on your Dipper shot, I quite like this idea of shooting through the vegetaion, it gives a good lakeside view, with the indication that you're secretly witnessing a special moment in the birds lives.

Awkward so and so's aren't they? I quite like the oof vegetation, although I might remove those two dark blobs on the right.

Lovely capture Phil as was the dipper by the way. I like the way the Oof stuff frames it.

Yes excellent, like the OOF, some dust evident and would out out of focus material towards top LH side but this is minor overall a tremendous image.

You've captured a great spectacle. I like the oof vegetation; it really adds to the shot. :Well done. :smile:

I've only ever seen this display once before Phillip and I missed the shot, so congrats on this fine capture.

A lovely shot of an event I have only seen once :toast:

The reeds in the foreground do not distract from it at all :smile:
