They are back and started the nest building, but it got cold again for the time being.
Thanks for looking.

It's ironic how the longer we view somebody's thumbnails over the time, the more likely we are to recognize the photographer. :)

Lovely pose and details. Just wish the light hadn't been so harsh.

Hi Karl, lovely low angle, and I do like the angled swimming pose. Comp works well, and I like the droplets and colour of the water.

[William Dickson]

Nice one Karl, you dealt with the harsh light well. Lovely POV and detail.

Nice pose and details Karl. I might try bringing down the highlights a bit and adding some blacks to offset the harsh light a little. Well done

Light noted, but your shooting angle is superb....
