This is "Marmite" at the woodland pool this afternoon at about 5:30. he had a great time - spent about 5 minutes in the water.You can see he's still got that miss -placed scapular. Lot of shots spoiled by Great Tits getting in on the act.
Had to clone a bit of one out in the background. Harsh sunlight which caused some processing headaches too.

A good shot of a great species.
Cloning is apparent but it does look a tricky part of the image to get just right.

Nice one John, although you can see evidence of soem cloning its no deal breaker and always possible to improve, A great pose from 'Marmite'....

Another fine portrait John.If it was tricky lighting you've handled it well and I like the water droplets on the tail and back.
