Another great shot Ronnie. Whilst the other image in itself is the better this fulfils the challenge theme more fully. Everything about this is once more very appealing, the colour the white and yellow contrast and composition it all works very nicely indeed. I love Mariuca̢۪s imaginative comment. Well done.

Ah, that lovely golden hour. Great use of the light to transform this into something special that stands out, the light together with good timing of the moment. Your predicted score was spot on and your ribbon, once more, well deserved, well done Ronnie

Great nature study Ronnie. I like the way you have captured the bird in mid stripe with his yellow foot vividly contracted against the green background. There is a lovely level of detail in the bird with his beautiful white plumage again nicely contrasted against the dark background. I find the brown on the left a little distracting but not a lot you could probably do about that, other than that well done Ronnie for climbing another rung of the ladder towards your goal

Another great image Ronnie. The dominant factor here is the lovely colour of the water reflecting the sun’s lovely warm colours, this together with the bird’s action and position all make for a very attractive image. However, as regards the challenge brief of motion panning the ‘fast’ shutter speed and distance make for very little effect of panning, a significantly slower speed would have fulfilled the challenge brief more readily.
