Lovely low angle, sharpness and BG, Geir. only wish the tail were as sharp as the rest of the bird. Also would maybe add more to the top if you can. The blurry drop doesn't add that much as if it were clear, I'd be tempted to clone it out. I still think its a lovely image and would love to have it!

Love the photo, but the bird appears to have an amused look of...."am I seeing this, he's got his lens half submerged"

[Alan Murphy]

Love the low angle on this image.

Great low angle, I hope you wiped your gear nice and dry after this!! I agree with Melissa about the blurred water drop not adding much here. I'm OK with the DOF, what needs to be sharp is.
