Along the riverbank

Nice of this chap to pause for me as he flew off

Lovely Dipper shot Chris !

Great catch there, Chris.

Don't know about you, but I'd dull down the highlights. The reflections on the water are a little distracting.

Magic shot though - the pose is so typical of these super little birds (just before they fly off low level),

 

[ChrisGilbert]

Thanks Roy.

Slight problem with the wee chap, Dougie, was that I shot him in silhouette in strong sunlight. It's probably a case of developing the canvas in a seperate image and then blending them but at the end of the day the highlights are indeed blown on this one, I'm afraid.

That's a really nice shot of the Dipper. Water highlights may be a little distracting but great detail in the bird.

Lovely natural dipper shot

Any sharp Dipper shot is worth having and the highlights on the water don't bother me, thats where they live and water has blown bits :shrug:
Nice eye contact and detail

Cheers all. Glad you like him/her (not sure tbh!)
