Great low angle here. Love the prey item. The composition works for me.

[Bill Dix]

Nice light, good pose, and the POV looks like you must have been wearing a snorkel. I love the richness of the blue fg/gb, and the prey brings it up another notch.

[William Dickson]

Brilliant POV. Although you can't see as much of the prey, as your last one, I like this one better. I am seeing a slight blue cast throughout the image.

Amazingly low POV. I'm also seeing a slight blue cast when I'm looking at the whites on the back. Great look at the eye and the drops of water are great. TFS

[Jonathan Ashton]

I know what uou mean about the blue cast, the odd thing is I was careful about colour temp setting and I als removed blues in PSCC. The only conclusion is that my study lighting is inconsistent, I am hoping to remedy it tomorrow or Monday. The walls are white but I will be having the window blind shut and a new daylight corrected lightbulb will be in action! Fingers crossed. Recently I changed the interface settings on PSCC and Bridge along with BPN website - big mistake grey gives the best impression black looks sexy but it does not offer the eye the best opportunity to appreciate image colours and contrast.

Jonathan - as the others have said, beautiful low pov. I love the details on the subject and prey, as well as the composition.

Thank you Noel, I reckon I was about 3 inches above water level, I very nearly scooped some water in the lens hood! I knew I was low but not quite so low, I forgot to consider that the water was lapping at the edge of the marine lake!
