Gorgeous light great angle...

I would really like to get my hands on one of those lenses.

Great stuff Guy.
Not sure if its full frame but a little more space would be good - maybe just to get all the ripples in.
Superb light.

Superb! Great POV and lovely detail in bird and water. Not sure if you've managed to hold the highlights on the tail - hard to tell. Always difficult with that kind of light.

Stunning picture Guy as it is, well done,

I particularly like the low point of view

I think it may need a little more detail burned in the tail, but it is a stunner in gorgeous light.

Superb shot Guy. :toast: Love the lighting and the BG melting into the water is fantastic. I agree with David on the white parts of the tail maybe needing a little work to recover the detail. :toast:

Lighting, lighting, lighting . . . . . is everything, and this is a perfect example of it. A Cracker Mr Rogers.

stunning colours and a really nice shot Guy. The tail probably isn't blown but I would darken it a little anyway as it does distract slightly.
