Works well Graham, nice placement within frame and good to see it in 'singing' mode. Initially I thought it was a rock in the bottom rh corner until I realised it was water, DOH. :toast:

Unusual pose you have captured there, Graham. Although I would normally go for landscape format with a dipper, this one cries out for portrait format to me. I guess the action was over in a second or two though, and gave you little time.

That is a cracker Graham. It has been mentioned elsewhere this year that Dippers are one of the subjects most entered into competitions and that to achieve any success they would need to be unusual. You have certainly achieved this with this particular image. I personally have never seen this pose achieved before. Lovely shot. (Shame about that ring but there ain't nothing you can do about that). :toast:

That's a bit different. I thought I'd seen all the dipper shots the world had to offer, but I hadn't seen this one.
