Stunning colors and light Neil! It looks like the shot needs some slight CW rotation but i might be wrong.
The water droplets really top this off. Wel done!

greetings,

I love the light and the colours on this. These used to be really common, but in East Africa at least they seem to be getting quite rare.

A somewhat awkward body position but that is more compensated for by the beautiful colour and the sharp bill and eye detail. Very pleasing.

Really nice. Love the reflected color on the water too. I do find the copyright by the bird to be very disrupting though.

This is gorgeous! Beautiful water. It's just a little tight top and bottom, and I think you could extract some more detail from the shadows.
