Excellent capture Mark and great light. I like the bird near the water in this and the balanced sky and water.

That bird and its location add a striking presence to a fine scene.

Really nice, Mark. Nice time to have a camera, nicer if you know how to use it. The bird plays a big part in a wonderful scene.

Wonderful shot Mark, minimalist and yet it conveys so much. I live in a place where this photograph could have been taken, so I know that you don't get chances like this every day, and you certainly made the most of it.
