    This is the mate of the bird that Jim posted. What a blast laying in the muck at Jam Bay and photographing these two on Friday night with a few good friends.

    Grace, Beautiful colors and lighting. I like the water droplets. Nice low angle and a great find! If it were mine I'd take a small slice off the top- but I know you like the room and I respect that. Well done!!

    Lovely, lovely shot Grace. Beautiful viewpoint and colors. Water droplets from beak add a nice touch. Like as presented.

    Wow Grace, this is really pretty. Perfect sharpness, nice low angle, water droplets from beak and a sublime background. Just reward for spending time in the muck.

    Hi Grace, getting down and dirty for this has worked out exceptionally well. Great angle, and you have exposed this very well. Sharp, and I like droplets from the beak. Well captured.

    Congratulations Grace on an excellent capture, really was worth getting down in the mud. One day's washing for years of viewing pleasure!

    Very nice image. I love the colors of the bg.
    Need a bit of CW rotation.
