On Golden Pond

[Michael Pancier]

Probably one of my favorite non-spoonie shots of 2007. Took it at green cay a few weeks ago when the golden hues of the sunrise were giving us incredible color reflections for shots of the wading birds. Was a one time occasion. Been there a bunch of times since in the same location at sunrise, but no birds.:confused:

Captured this tricolored in the exact moment he was taking a head dive.

This is excellent. Works for me in everyway. What I really like the most is the little water drops. Well done Michael!

The lighting and gorgeous color really make this image for me along with wonderful action and splash. Well done Michael !!

Great timing Mike and magical water !!!! For some reason like them a little more tighter top and bottom !!! One I wish I had !!! Big Congrats !!!!

Excellent image and color.. Would have worked well without the flash as a silhouette also...

[Jim Neiger]

Very nice, Mike! The color in the water is spectacular.

[George DeCamp]

Sharp as a tack and the water is surreal, top shelf image!!

[Fabs Forns]

One more in favor of the beauty here. You are making very good use of that lens!

Happy New Year :)

Great water color and splash. All I could think of would be a slightly lower angle.

Great action, the water colour is spectacular! Maybe a little more fill flash would have helped?
