Hi Phil, afraid this one doesn't do it for me and I always think these type of shots are very dependant on shutter speed and how much blur or lack of it this creates and it is difficult to get just right IMHO. Other opinions will vary I am sure.

Nick. :smile:

Keep up the experimentation, Phil, it can get ever so boring, otherwise. :cool: :biggrin: :wink:

I agree with David T., keep on experimenting, but this one does not quite get there. Good idea though.

Doesn't quite do it for me either Phil. I like the idea, the background (with just enough suggestion of the water) and the composition but the overall image isn't quite there.

Yes it's a bit of a near miss for me. If only the bird had been facing you. Interesting how the beak is sharp.
