Nice shot with the reflection.

Obviously a tricky light angle; but this image has worked well

Thanks Jean. I'm working with short lenses and struggling to get a crisp shot.

[ragman]

Thanks Geoff. I will continue to work on it until it reaches Cambridge quality. (One can only hope)

Thanks to Richard, John, and Nandy. Your comments are encouraging.

Magic shot and one anyone would be proud to call their own.
The elegant lines and curves in the bird's neck and wings and that spray of water from its lift off are excellent.
Maybe a little caressing of the highlights on its wing in the raw image would lift it even further but over all....Magic.

Thanks Graham for the kind remarks. I don't have photoshop at this time, so limited as what can be done.

Awesome shot Ron. Great timing and a perfect reflection. It's rare to get water than smooth. You took full advantage. Well done.

[ragman]

Thanks Dan. Coming from you I take it as a true compliment. You guys have been very kind.
