The dipper looks cracking but the water is really green, though I am guessing a reflection it is really freaking me out a bit :biggrin: :toast: :toast: :toast: :toast: :toast:

Yes, the water looks strange to me too. However, as the colours of the bird appear spot on I am guessing it is merely a reflection of spring leaves.

Phil must say the bird looks excellent like the others I'm not really sure about the water that said I have not got a picture of a Dipper so I would be pleased to have it.

Nice to see one not carrying 5 rings on each leg !

Lovely image and interesting water colour - perhaps a tad central for me. Is this FF or do you have a bit of space to play with ?

Hi Graham it is about 97% of the FF I do have some that are less central and the water colour is the reflection of spring leaves in the water.

Best till last, Phil. The water texture looks lovely, as for the colour, though it may be natural I think I would tone it down slightly.

Still a cracking shot matey :toast:

Cracking shot Phil and the green water really sets the bird off. Perhaps just back off the saturation on the green slightly as it looks a little like pea green soup.

Yes a belter Phil and as the guys suggest a bit less green would be great despite the fact that it natural. :wink:

Thats some funky water.... I think it does need toning down a bit, reducing the green and yellow saturation should do it nice image of the Dipper, a bird I wish we had down here in Kent...
