Not sure about the crop on this one. Maybe a bit noisy too
Thanks for comments on last pic.

I like the crop and the bathing pose of this beautiful little hawk. The color palette looks great too. Yes to a little noise but not to bad and maybe a bit more sharpening. Nice frame John

Hi John, thats a great subject to have for your 'bathing' theme. Lovely eyes, and I do like the wet plumage down the front of his body.

Looks like he doesn't like cold feet to me! I like the crop, another very natural looking image, well done.

Ha! He clearly doesn't like having his privacy invaded! Love the stare. Nice earthy colors. Your pools appear to be very productive places.

Thanks all
Sidharth- yes they can be very productive and I have several on the go at the moment. Trouble is that it has been so wet that there is plentyof water available all over the place !!
We may get a dry Spring!
