Exceptional as always! :)
Love that reflection.

[Aidan Briggs]

Lovely exposure, light, and BG. Reflection is good but not spectacular. I might have tried for the low angle, instead of the reflection, though the reflection does add to the image here.

[Sid Garige]

Clean and crisp. Very nice details. Good job Denise.

[Harshad Barve]

Beautiful shot Denise, I am fine with the angle, eye contact is great too. Got lots of detail there TFS!

Thankyou all for your comments. They are most appreciated.

Hello Denise,

WOW!!! I really like this shot! The bird is very sharp and contrast with the more blurry reflection. Excellent exposition management too. You chose the perfect pov in order to get a great reflection!

Very well done and thanks for sharing!

Great exposure and framing Denise, I have a similar recent shot of a Greater Yellowlegs feeding, from the same location
