Super sharp and the SD10 really nails the colours.

What lifts this GCG image for me is the verticals from the marginal plants and their reflections - lends an interesting abstact element to the composition. :toast:

Lovely shot :biggrin: I agree with clive on the verticals. As you have such a clear reflection I would have liked to see all of it rather than cutting the head off, but then of course that might ruin your excellent composition.

As said super sharp and great comp, bursting with detail.

Well excecuted shot, with nice low viewpoint, although for my taste a little busy, but nothing you could do about that.

Nice image Steve - I quite like the reeds as the bird 'pops' well against them!
