Hello from the critique club

An appealing image that meets the challenge well

A well deserved ribbon for another great natural history image that is up to your usual very high standard Ronnie, well done. The things that give this its impact are the composition, DOF and timing all superbly executed. Those reflections are divine fulfilling the challenge brief to a tee. Thanks for your fascinating write up, I̢۪m sorry you didn̢۪t achieve a PB but any 7+ score is a score to be well proud of, congratulations.

Big congats on the red. The cypress trees image you offered in your comment is really fine as well.

Superb photo. I go kayaking too and know that these birds don't hang around too long when you get near them. Congrats!
