Nice, though i find the colours in the water distract from the bird.

Hi Kev
I have just had a look at your website and your other Dipper shots that you have taken recently. There are some excellent images there, you are building a nice portfolio on this bird. I particularly like the shot of the Dipper in the rain gathering nesting material.
For this shot I like the composition and the swirl effect of the water in the background. For me the water is not a distraction. Maybe a tad soft around the head/eye area?
I find the patterns in the water very attractive but not quite sure on the bird's posture,he looks as if he's got his eye on you and is a little wary of your presence.Perhaps a more relaxed look with the bird looking more towards the water would work well.

I like this alot. I think all colours add up to make a good image. Sadly my weekend up in the Peaks I never had time to try for these lovely birds.
The head/eye looks sharp on my monitor
Nice One

Rob
Ditto what Sean said - I like it!
