Love the title of this, it makes the image comical. Image wise I would crop just above the first lot of reflective water, as they are a little distracting IMO, so you have the clear bit of water then the Bittern, If you see what I mean.

Hi Tim
This one almost looks as though its going to break into a run, so well caught.
Looks good to me, just wish there was a bit more eye contact .

Hello Tim
I feel you have captured the whole essence of the bittern really well. You can see he hates being in the open and can't get back into the reeds quick enough. Nice one.
Best wishes
Phil

I like it as it is, but I wonder what it would have been like shot landscape and cropped to pano so that there was more of the wall of reeds......and more in the plane of focus.

I hope your GF got to work on time

I have to ask.... what for?
Always nice to see let alone photograph - I like the scene just wish the bird had a bit more punch.. That said great capture!
