Pool surprise No2

[John Robinson]

Moorhen Not a surprise because its a moorhen but because the pool is hardly big enough for the bird to turn around.!!
It didn't stop long anyway. I was pleased in a way as it muddied all theshallow water !
Unable toget any detail from the blacks in shadow. The sun was murder today, but mustn't grumble.

Oh those blasted reflections !!!

Thanks Chris
I agree. Trouble is the other pool is onlythree feet across! You never know though!! I put this on for a bit of interest really.

Great job on the exposure here with a tough bird. Your horizon is looking off to me. If you draw a line straight down from the tip of the bird's beak to it's reflection, it should meet.

Nice details John, I get these and even mallards in my garden pond and they uproot all the pond plants - it looks a real mess right now!

Yes Marina ,it is a degree or two off. Good tip that.
Thanks
John
