Would someone please pass the brush

Quite a lot technically wrong with this image but it amused me.

7D with Sigma 150-600 Sport lens 1/400 F11 Iso 800.

I do like the visual pun.

A fun shot.

He has just taken a shower and his brush is now hanging to dry.

Haha, Dutch Google v English translation

Great title, image and funny. You did well to spot it and the sense to take it.

I'll admit it took me a minute to see the brush! Made me smile

[Wavelength]

Funny

[Craigie]

Very amusing.

A great fun shot and well done that you picked it up as worth capturing.
There is an English photographic guru Mike Browne who runs a site on which he posts a lot of videos on technique. I am not pushing his barrow. But one of the things he goes on about is lots of physical moving around in relation to the subject to find the best frame to capture. Okay this was probably an opportunistic, one off chance, at a capture. But I wonder how it would have turned out if you had got your self down a bit lower in relation to the subject and maybe got a bit more background between its head and the bar? Bit of the old 'ground grovel' sort of thing. Of course easy for me to say as it was probably one of those things which required instantaneous action before the moment was lost. But a great fun capture which ever way you look at it with a very clever caption.

It was from a hide, Ken, and I was twisting my tripod around on just one leg to get a view from the window. Which was a downward angle because the hide is on a bank.

After a few minutes this bittern moved to a better position so I was able to get a more traditional shot before it flew away into the reeds.
