Much prefer the first image, perhaps with the bird slightly higher.....well seen and caught. :toast:

The first shot is very nice, the light on the water is stunning.

Beautiful images although I do prefer the first one as the bird has more space to fly into. The water looks superb as a BG.

Prefer the first one as it has more drama :wink:
