Well captured Stuart - lots of sharp feather detail, against a nice clean background - quite an unusual pose too!

Many thanks for commenting everyone!

Good job I shot this image in RAW as I had to recover some blown highlights (and some clipped shadows) and if I had shot in JPEG my white balance was still set to tungsten so everything would have been a bit blue. Additionally, the water would be showing some macro-blocking caused by the lossy JPEG's Discrete Cosine Transformation being unable to recreate the subtle graduated tones causing posterization...

This coming from someone who can't tell if an image is in focus or not.

You kicked me off your thread so I politely ask you to stay out of mine, good day.

Very nice shot and as for you, I've never seen one on a post like that either! Shows the orange on the legs beautifully!
