Very nice
 
Very different ... I have the urge to make the bird central in the frame! :D
 
The colours and light are nice.
I'd like to have seen a wider crop with the full circle of "wave". Not sure if wave is the correct term. :)

Like Bob I'd like to see the full ripple and the full reflection, but I love the colour and light, and the way the reflection off the water just catches across the feathers.

Ripple! That's the word I was looking for :)
 
Nice..
 
That is a fantastic shot.
I have never seen a bird shot anything like it.
 
An unusual one for sure, almost sculptural/architectural and quite beautiful. Very much a "photographers eye" image.

But are you sure this is not the lost city of Atlantis reemerging from the depths ;)

That's really good, Daniel. Perfect timing, not luck!

As the page was loading I thought it was architectural, a cathedral rising from the water.

Yes, that is what struck me as it appeared on my smartphone screen.

PS an example of what one sees and hears from and about the cues from nature that some architects use.

I really like this, the tones and colour are very silky and it has a very 'film' look to me.

Right, patience is just another way to invite luck…
that does not always accept invitations! :(

Thanks for that Terry… I could not believe it when
I saw it on the back screen!

Yes, that was my first idea too, Roger but the take is full width
and that made it look too narrow. So I cropped it 3x4 and I left
it full width as I was loosing too much (IMO) of the reflection.

If one remember how long a dabbler stays in that position,
I had to be quick to take the shot as I did not know how long
he was already under water.

A very lucky shot that I did not have much time to think really!

Thanks you both! :cool:

That's what my younger son said:
" …looks like a cathedral coming to the surface…" and he
added: "…in a science fiction movie!"

My second daughter said:
" Wow, daddy, that looks like a flower, a lotus or something!"

Thank you gentlemen!

As I said, it happened so quickly… I was just happy to get it in
the frame. I cropped a bit the hight but the width is untouched.

Glad you like it!

Excellent shot, something about it makes me think ancient Egypt and the Pharoes, most impressive.
 
Fabulous image - really well spotted. My first though was a crown or head dress before I scrolled down & saw the water.

Egyptian, David?
That would fit the lotus idea!
Thanks.
 
That is one fan-flipping-tastic image.

Great colours, great structure. Beautiful.

Yes, that was another thing my kids and I did not think of!
Thanks Tony!
 
I really like this. Beautiful.

Beautiful. Love the browns against the deep blue water and the way the light has caught the feathers. Very well seen and captured.

I was aiming at its head and the water pearling
on it as it decided to go for an other bite! Thanks.

Yes, I believe so… we got in on the wall in the
conference room (as my daughter insisted)!
