The water has a really interetsing quality to it - almost as though it is made from scrunched up metallic paper, or chipped slate - must have been a cold, windy day!
This is a great picture Deb - the dynamics between two birds who are at first glance similar, but on closer inspection are so different - one large and graceful the other a small scavenger.
The positioning of the two birds in opposute corners on different tragectories, one entering the shot one leaving it - one with head bowed, one with head raised, and the magnificent colour and texture of the water making a perfect backdrop to the smoothness and lightness of the birds feathers . .
Quite delightful. I could gaze at this for ages . .
