I can see what you were trying to do here Colin. The moorhen looking at its own reflection looks pretty cool, but, I think the POV lets the image down.

Hi Colin, well exposed on the dark plumage, but I have to agree with Will regarding the shooting angle.

[John Mack]

You must have been quite close. I like the light here. Reflection is a plus as well.

I feel the POV lets this down, also, I feel you have saturated a bit too much mate.
Nice attempt. Keep at it! :) TFS

Thanks for the comments. I could have got lower but that would have lost most of the depth in the reflection. Ákos, I didn't change the saturation, the raw and my post are identical except for a bit of flare on the yellow part of the bill in the raw image.
