Here's another one from this past weekend. It is tricky getting solid shots of these active little birds in the dark forest.

Great shot Glenn. I would love to see these birds one day.
You did a fine job in the low light conditions
I like the underwater foot!

Wow Glenn just loved the feet showing underwater, the open beak adds well and the feel here is just great.. congrats..

Great colour palette, Glenn. BG and FG work beautifully with the bird. Pity the open bill was not against a blue section of the BG as the colour of the lower portion is very close to the BG colour in that area.

i really like the pose and the water color!

[Brian Barcelos]

Love the blue and yellow BG. The slow shutter speed made the flow of water by his feet look awesome. Open beak adds to this. Congrats

Glenn, the BKGR and nice low angle made this picture look from good to very good. It would be great if you could also put the exposure used in flash as well in camera. Congrats!!
