Hi Maggie, this one is more interesting from the point of view that the Dipper has a meal and the lower POV. Sadly for me, it's a little dark and contrasty compare to the previous one and using one of my 'pet hates', the bird is not 'separated' clearly from the BG.
A difficult call at this time of year unless you are up early and it's a bright day Think you will crack it soon.

Fabulous setting for this one Maggie, great pose, and the bonus lunch too.

Steve unfortunately at this time of the year it doesn't matter what time you arrive at this site. The sun is too low to get on it. Hopefully Spring/Summer I will get some images in better lighting conditions. I did lighten the Dipper in processing as much as I thought I could.

A nice image Maggie. The movement in the water sets things off a treat!
