The first is a standout! Lovely complimentary colours in the landscape and I like the in focus grass on the left.

Good low angle too.

The second is very stark, maybe too stark but shows nice detail and good colour.

An option for the third might be to lose the reflection but that's a very subjective call. Fine as is.

Thanks Mick. I remember you have a thing about reflections.



Good call I think, Cheers

I reckon that's a stronger image Alan.

[Alan]

Agree - thanks

[Earthmother]

Great shots.
Strange looking bird though

Great images and I do like the second edit of #3. I always think they are such a neat looking bird - no subtle merging of colours and can be particularly ferocious during nesting season.
