Right under my nose

Well this shot was taken today at a local pond, I waited for the bird to fly off its perch and fish. The GRBH flew off to a side and then made its way under a bridge. I had a field day taking shots. A larger selection of these shots are on my site. Anyway all shots were edited and cropped with Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom to make the composition.

It took me a few moments for my mind to process this one and understand this rather abstract image. This is a very unique and beautiful photo with great perspective. Great timing to catch the stab and parting of the water. I do wish that you could have included a bit more of the head, but other than that a real winner John!

I am with Gary, it took me a while to figure out what was going on here. This is an excellent and unique image and perspective John. I would encourage you to comment on other photographers work as well, I think you will find critiquing others work helps improve your own photographic vision and the comments and critiques are what keeps this site going.

An unusual and very cool angle, John. I love the splashing water and the eddies formed by the head. Well done.

John, you have been posting a lot of nice photos lately, but please remember that the recommended NPN guideline is to make 5 comments for every image that you post. There will only be enough comments to go around if people follow this guideline. You've got a lot of catching up to do

This is a super cool photograph John

I like the abstract feel and how it makes you want to figure out what is going on in this image.

A Beauty!!!
