    Interesting pose....not that clear that the bird is scratching. I like the frozen moment and the flying water drops and the raised foot. Shooting angle is good for the reflection that I don't find that special here. TFS.

    I agree the reflection is not very strong, therefore in that case, if possible, I would have gone for a lower angle. I do like the water drops, and the rings in the water. Good light and colours.

    Lorant & Dan, thanks for the comments! Agreed about the vantage point; I have some shot at lower angles, but not with the actions here. That's what keeps us going back, right? :)

    The IQ looks pretty good on this, If you cannot get lower, maybe try to go tighter?
