Gareth, A nice artsy image and very attractive.
I think your PP skills worked well, but think this is probably a better post for OOTB.
The bird is also going away from you.

it looks cool but at the same time it shows heavy manipulation and a bit unnatural for my personal taste. I think it is best suited for OTB forum so you can get better feedback regarding artistic/creative processing.

I like the concept of the image, and the processing looks OK to me. The head angled away and in the shade is unfortunate...this would have awesome with a better HA and hitting the sun. Good choice of crop, it works well with the trailing water. I've had this type "blacklit" effect many times before and does not look un-natural to me...just a very cool effect that I like.

I really like what you were going for here. The pano crop works well and I like the water trail behind the bird and the black effect. I can see enough of the head and beak that even at this angle the capture works for me. Your image needs a little bit of CW rotation. The way to check for this is to make sure your subject lines up with its reflection. In this case, I used the wigeon's foot. Well seen on this one. It's nice to see something unique.

I really like this Gareth, i suspect there are some people on this site who could really help in regard to getting the maximum out of this image, I would love to have a go but I bet there are many with greater skills than I have - what do you think?

I like this too, Gareth. I think it's artistic and dramatic and it's always refreshing to see a unique take on things. Yes, it would have been more powerful if the bird were angled more towards us. But still, neat light, trail in the water, and spotlight effect.
