One from a few weeks ago now , where paddling was all the rage ...Sorry Andy couldn't resist.
A little red squirrel colony I visit 'up north' has produced some drinking shots but the wait is agonisingly painful in amongst the rocks.
Hopefully the green canopy will have subsided by next visit and the stream a little lower in level.
C/C's welcome
Thanking you in advance

Cracking shot Mark, its the reflection that makes this shot for me. Also an interesting and unusual pose, just need it to snow now for WPOTY

Probably your best 'Red Drinking' to date Mr...! Only nit would be that I'd like to see just a little more room at the bottom giving the reflection a little more space. Just personal opinion though.. Nice work.

very minor nit covered Mark on an otherwise super image. I really like the overall reflection of the tree canopy and colour it has turned the water.
Good stuff mate

Brilliant shot Mark, you've caught the reflection perfectly
A great shot and well worth all the waiting.
Well done.
Geoff.

Don't mind the green at all, I actually think it adds a nice splash of contrasting colour to the scene. Very nice.
Even some 6000 miles away, the image looks just as good and think it's a cracking image, as it is so unusual. Just love the colours, however wonder if there was more FG rather than BG (squirrel top third), might it work better, especially with the colours you have at present and loosing the slightly boring back drop??? Just a thought.
You've captured a great scene. I like it very much. Well done.

My wellies have only just dried out
Too much BG at the top would be my only nit matey - so I'm pretty much with Big Stevo here.
Roll on winter

Another superb shot and the best in this series so far Mark
Minor nits covered

a lovely shot Mark and I think the green adds to the image. I can see how a bit more foreground/less background might enhance the image further but definitely one to be proud of as it is.
