Unperturbed

[Bill Dix]

#3 in a Harlequin series from 10 days ago. It was a very windy day, with waves splashing over the rocks. Piece of cake for the Harlequins, who seem to thrive under those conditions. C&C appreciated.

I just love this image, Bill. Wish it were mine, and I imagine it can't have been an easy image to capture for a # of reasons. The environmental feel to this one and the splashing works very well to bring this one up a notch or 2, never mind the angle and light.

This is really nice Bill, I feel like I am right in the action….
Not sure who you got the bird and the drops sharp?

Bill a great feel to this excellent shot, you can almost feel the Duck hanging on against the powerful water, I'm with Marina wish it was mine.

This is my favorite of your series.
I like everything about it.
The water flowing over the rock, the water drops, the pose and the IQ.
Well done

Beautiful image and duck, Bill. Amazing how comfortable this Harlequin is with the raging wind and water. Love the surrounding water and splash.

Nice dynamic capture Bill and great that you got such sharp feather detail with all of the movement that I know is occurring here. The eye which is clear of water droplets is icing on the cake. Heading back there tomorrow.

Wonderful! Other than the oof rock, lower left corner which I know was unavoidable, I wouldn't change a thing.

[Bill Dix]

I'm thoroughly enjoying this image, Bill, and unperturbed is the exact word that comes to mind when viewing this image. Agree with all the positives above.

Awesome shot. Love the energy the water brings to the shot. I love the clarity on the eye.
