I was sitting on a stone at the water's edge of this steep little slope and tried to get low, when this bird flew so close that I could barely fit it into the frame.
(Full frame plus added some canvas to the top and right)
Please click on it to see it large.
 
Thanks for looking.

Another very nicely composed image.  Beautiful!

Nice exposure. Love the feet and water. Great BG too.

You nailed this one. Very good composition, background and exposure of the whites. The water drips add a dynamic element.
