Jo the thumbnail belies the image, I think this is just beautiful,... and I like those bubbles too! Details in the plumage are excellent, the fish being partially obscure adds interest.

[John Robinson]

Good one Joe. I don't normally go for reflections but this one is pretty cool. Like the reflections on the bird too.

Hi Joe, conditions look strong, but the exposure seems well handled. Like the ripple reflections of the water over the white plumage and god to see you did not clip the reflection of the subject. The blue adds punch to the scene.

Like the low angle shooting and love the reflection of the water on the bird. Well exposed and sharp. I wish for a little head turn towards us. TFS.

The colour of the water against the colour of the bird really makes it for me. Beautiful pose and reflection.

Well done Joe

Gorgeously sharp, great action, beautiful whites! I'd love to see a little more water at the bottom so as not to crowd the wonderful reflection.

Surf and turf! A full meal in one strike! Great colors and whites, I love the way the light reflects on the subject.
