John, if I get a shot like that in the shade I would be more than happy to be caught out.

Hi Steve
The only good thing a bout that bit of sunlight is that it gives the chance of getting a higher shutter speed to catch a bit of water action.
Cheers

Sharp in all the right places and soft in all the right places too. Lovely image. Anything you still hope to get in your pool that you haven't yet? I don't mean golden eagels or avocets obviously but stuff that you might stand a chance at.
