Hi David,

A cracking capture all-round - great composition, subject pose/ movement, control of light, fine detail, eye-pop - and those fabulous reflections!

Thank you for sharing...

Control of light, fine detail, eye-pop - and those fabulous reflections!

How I wish Canon would let us record the compass direction of our shots. I'll 'guess' that I was facing south with the sun coming in from NE.

The GPS data of bird photos is included in the metadata but direction is always straight up or straight down, depending on how my iPhone was stowed in my zippered back pocket!

I've added location and time below the photo.

… David

Hi Cemal,

Once again, the colours and lighting are very pleasing to the eye - we seem to have missed the 'carpet of shapes and colours' phase out in our local woods this time round and gone straight to sludge. (November sometimes brings 'angel beam' mornings, so we're clinging on to that hope... ).

Anyway, enough about central England - these images will lift any spirits, so thank you for sharing!

Thank you, P&K. I may post some reflection photographs but small sizes do not show the intricate details. I'll think about that.
