    HI

    Haven't done much shooting lately, so here's one from a couple of weeks ago. I didn't manage to get the male and this is the only good female shot I got. However, I really like this one, because of the colours.

    I cloned out some distracting BG branches.

    This is a beauty, Jan. The light is wonderful and I like the sparkling water drops on the bird. I might add just a bit of room on the left to ensure that the tail is comfortably within the frame - I can't tell for sure where the tail ends as it is partly submerged.

    I like the image very much. Is it a full frame?
    I guess no need an extra room on the left side.
    I like it as is.

    The color of the water suites the subject very well. Nice low angle, details and catcheye.

    Oh man.... this is terrific. I would crop just a hair of the bottom. You did well with the composition, colors and exposure!
