    Nice one Will, I very much like the low POV here, coupled with the subjects posture.

    Fun pose you have captured here. How awesome if you had the entire reflection. Your water is lovely.

    I like the pose, red eye, exposure, water color and composition. Very well done Will.

    Very cute! I love the reflection! I'd consider moving him up in the frame, and maybe a bit off the left.

    Hi Ann, he had seen another Coot nearby, and I think he was in the 'getting ready to pounce' pose
