This image was taken at a higher up shooting position.
It looks like the shimmer was not causing
softness from this angle.

Looks sharp to my old eyes Karl. Nice image, thank you for sharing.

[Robert Kimbrell]

Pleasing image Karl, I like the way the chick is alert like he is driving. The shooting angle is fine. Nicely placed in the frame.

[Sidharth Kodikal]

Nice sharp details, Karl. Very high cuteness factor. A slight head turn from the adult would've been good, but certainly fine as is. Love seeing the immersed foot.

That's a lot sharper than your last one Karl, like the broken reflection, very nice image.

Excellent subject content and techs here Karl.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Yes, the IQ is three on this one. Well exposed and sharp, and the little one adds a cuteness factor. I agree a better head angle by the adult would have been super (the little guy has it!).

[William Dickson]

Very nice Karl. Great IQ , pose and POV. Very pleasing image. Good work

[arash_hazeghi]

this one has better IQ but I wish you had caught him moments before this when the adult has a better HA

Hi Karl, lovely family moment, and just love the sharp detail you have here. Although not a perfect reflection, Im glad you kept it, and love the calmness of the water.

[Jim Crosswell]

I like the calm water, IQ, visible foot and the cute chick. Very well done Karl!

[Ákos Lumnitzer]

Now THIS is a Karl image mate!
Other than the mentioned HA, it rocks. Super sharp and awesome details. I love this kind of soft light.
