Moorhen
1D2n, 600m x1.4, 1/1250s, f7.1, iso 400.

I find moorhen to be a bit shy, so was delighted when this one sat happily in front of me for a few minutes. Comments and critique welcomed as always.

A very serene image and that ultra low viewpoint puts this up a notch.

Another beautifully taken low POV shot from you .Gorgeously processed and in some cracking light.
Struggling to see the chequered carpet and his worshipful master that David refers too though .Maybe he's keeping it a secret .
