Attractive image Geoffrey. Sharp, well exposed and with beautiful colors. I like the head angle and it's placed nicely in the frame. Wish you were a little lower, but may not have been possible.

[Jim Neiger]

Nice image Geoffrey. I agree with Robert's comment.

[Jim Crosswell]

I like the calm water, body angle, composition and excellent 3D effect.

Wow! The thumbnail doesn't do this justice.
Love the IQ and the perky pose and the green water.
A beauty!

A bird I would like to see one day. Beauty shot!!!

[David Salem]

Wow is right. The thumbnail isn't nearly as good. This is beautiful with great colors and killer details giving the image a real 3D look to it. Perfect light angle too. Nice shot of this cool little spinner.

[Juan Carlos Vindas]

Very nice one! Loving the proud pose of the bird and the 3D effect. The bird looks a tad over sharpened.

[Geoffrey Montagu]

Thanks everyone.

Terrific details and colors. Agree a lower angle would have just made this one sing.Beautiful water too

[Geoffrey Montagu]

Thanks Marina. I would have liked a lower vantage point, but I was quite close stretched out on a bank of reeds.
