Beautiful Denis. I love the water colour here and the foot dragging along the surface with the water trailing is very nice.
Thanks for looking,

A very beautiful shot!  According to the diagonal lines in the water, might need a tiny bit of CCW maybe? Nice capture anyway.

You captured the warm colors of the water well. Nice pose as well, with the bit of water trailing from the foot.

Wonderfully captured, Denis. I didn't come away with anything half as good as this of this bird.

Best,

Matt

Thanks Matt!
Took 3 mornings to get this kind of early light,as the first 2 days had cloud cover early,resulting in harsh light,when the sun eventually broke through.
Also this particular pond had water levels dropping dramatically over a few days,and we had to relocate.Too bad as it was perfectly situated.

Wonderful! Those colors are just perfect for such a nice bird. CCW already noted to finish a superb image!

Love it. Warm golden backdrop and the tiny foot splash really add to this fine image. Does it need a little counter clock wise rotation?
