Reflected Francolin

[Stu Bowie]

An image from my Kruger trip from the previous weekend. The first day it rained, so I made the most of the situation of this Francolin having a drink from a puddle in the road. Although I took a few shots of this, this was the only image where I had a full reflection. Something different.

Super image Stuart! Love the detail and reflection. If it was mine I may try a vertical crop and give more space at the bottom. (I would also make it left of centre). TFS

Stuart I really like this ,the reflection is great, would love to see it with a tighter crop to get rid of some of the 3 light tracts that do draw my eye a bit, just my own thoughts of course.Very nice piece of work.

Hi Stu - great reflection. I too immediately thought of a vertical crop. I think it makes for a stronger image.

TFS,
Rachel

The first time I opened this, my first thoughts were wow this is really cool...but it could be even stronger. I am with Rachel on the vertical. I think that's the answer to a pretty darn cool image.

Thanks a stack for the feedback everyone, and to Richard, Rachel and Marina for the vertical suggestion. Here is my repost.
