 I loved this too much to not enter but also realise it might not fit perfectly with the DNMC police. At this particular time I hadn't joined DPL, so I had nothing to lose.

Thanks for the bling Don, and all the other comments.

I really like the strong contrast in this shot, the subtle reflection, and the rings. Hope this guy got a meal soon after.

The Egret against the black background is really striking.

A cool entry, but I would score higher if there were more textural detail in the bird's (a type of egret?) plumage.
