Populair dutch Dipper Lesley. Nice to see you here olso.

Ah, nothing better than a dipper taking a dip. I like the head turn and the bath. The oof string of highlights and the dark blob just below them are a bit distracting but easily dealt with in PS.
Vert nicely done. Even though the light is soft it is from the left. This the face is a bit dark. Would love to see that selectively brightened.
later and love, artie

In studying the image, I had exact same thought as Jim about upper right circulars.
That aside, this is a beautiful image of just the right moment....I sense good eye contact also
I like the pose and low angle. I have to agree with the face being a little dark but a fine image as it is.
Welcome, Lesley! I like the pose, angle and details. I would do a bit CW rotation and clone the bright band in the upper right. I agree on brightening the head a bit.
Nits have been covered but a very beautiful image with excellent detail and wonderful eye contact.. thanks for sharing this with us Lesley !
A beautiful low angle shot nice details and pretty bg nit is minor and fixable in processing Nice Work !!!!
Welcome Lesley and thanks for posting an image of a species that I rarely see shared on sites. Nits already mentioned.
thanks for the comments and tips.
I've done it all and it looks better.CW rotation, clone the bright band in the upper right and brightening the head a bit

thanks again
Lesley

That's a really nice series of images you have there.
Very very nice. I would take some off teh left and clean up the BG water.
thanks, I already cleaned the BG water but don't know how to put the image in this thread, is that possible
otherwise:The image is too big (801 pixel) You can resize it and go to edit and 'go advanced' to post the altered image. I still think it needs some CW rotation. ;)http://www.ltdphoto.com/nieuwstefoto...preeuwsite.htm it's the 7th picture from the top.
