One from today I have been doing a dipper project all year this may be one of the last from this year I think.

Very smart Phil. Perhaps a crop to take out the water bottom right might focus the eye on the bird a bit more but just my opinion

Works slightly better IMO without the wave. Stonking shot though.

Do agree about the crop but it is a fine picture

Not fussed about the crop really, in fact, would have preferred more of the river to give show the movement of the water past the boulder.

A fine shot of lovely bird

Works with or without the wave for me

I like it as it is. Great pose.

I like it as it is - the wave seems to lose any distraction value in the large version anyway I felt.
