Chris, Very nice details on the dipper. The environment looks nice, I do see a little noise in the top but it doesn't take from the image IMO.

Hey Chris congratulations to get this close is no mean feat. Fine exposure and detail- nice one!!

Very good image of this hard to approach and hard to expose correctly bird. Great detail. Perhaps a bit of a head turn towards you would be nice but I like it as presented. Thanks for sharing this.
