Hello from the critique club

An appealing image that contributes to the open challenge well

Well done Ronnie, the HM reflects (excuse the pun) the quality of your lovely image. I love the subtle pastel shades in the background and reflections on the water, beautiful. You have these lovely shots well and truly nailed Ronnie, there's not a lot more I can add...

Thanks everyone for all the comments and votes, really appreciate it.

Sidpixel. I wish it was bigger but canĂ¢€™t get everything. In the print it is really easy to see the catch.

For those wondering, the print does look absolutely amazing. Waiting to get my 40x30 of another shot of this bird from getting framed. CanĂ¢€™t wait to hang both of them in my office.

Crikey I can't believe this didn't beat mine. Even my kids thought this was better than mine:) Congrats!
