Gorgeous bird in lovely setting, although I'd love to see at least a hint of the red legs!

Presumably a wet photographer too! Love the low angle and contrasting colours. :toast:

Lovely portrait of this beautiful bird. I like the low point of view and the soft surroundings. :smile:

Superb Andy. The soft lighting and detail make this for me.

The detail in the larger version is stunning. I don't mind not seeing the red legs, the low pov more than compensates.
