Beautiful color and excellent exposure control here Jon. I like the water drops coming off the GCG, and the forward lean is a nice pose.
The IQ looks good enough to withstand a slightly tighter crop that could move your subject a little more left of center.
Overall a very nice image, and a pleasure to see.

Great colours and sharpness on the bird Jon. Lovely POV and I really love that pose. Great work.

That's them arrived at my local loch aswell

Thanks for sharing

Beautiful colors, action, composition and IQ. Very nice!

Pointing your lens more to your right would have made for a better composition IMO, but I like the water shake-off behaviour, light, colours.

Hi Jon, great low shooting angle, and I like the shaking off behaviour. I also like the various colours throughout the image. Yes to maybe a touch off the LHS.

Thanks very much everyone much appreciated.
