Hi taken locally at fleetwood they have large square pond/pool where they sail model boats in winter they reduce the water level for cleaning purposes it can expose quite strange colour in the mud combined with the early morning winter sunlight you can get some quite rich colour's.

This is sweet Phillip. Hey I'm really enjoying the D2X, fantastic piece of kit, I'm pleased as punch.

PS I think the ripples indicate a slight level adjustment is required

What super colours Philip, this is one sweet image, I might prefer a bit more space around the bird and reflection as it seems a tad cramped at the moment......

Re the rotation, it does need a touch of CW rotation, if you use the 'measure tool' from a point in the eye to the same point in the reflection and then select arbitary rotation it will do the job for you nicely....
