[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A shot which combines two of my favourite photography genres - birds and water drops.
Taken at Pensthorpe Nature reserve. The redshank was on the rock and was bobbing for insects in the water.

PP work - crop, adjust levels, resize and USM(30%)

Well captured Mark. Very good focus on the bird and remarkable colour and detail in the feathers and legs. The catch light in the eye shows nicely and a good background. TFS,

Hello Mark,a lovely shot of the Redshank.
I like his pose.
We have seen them often when bird watching but the detail you have captured is wonderful.
The composition is good with the rippling water.
I have seen some of your work before, but just now I have been browsing your gallery;there are beautiful shots.

Tfs, regards Jean.

hello Mark,
excellent capture. I especially like the water ring as it looks silky.

Hi mark

This is quite a capture. A lovely composition and the colours of the beak and the legs really crips and strong

A really clear shot and nicely taken - I have not had the pleasure of seeing a Redshank yet so look forward to that now!

Thanks

Hello Mark,
A very good composition of the redshank. You've captured it with great colors and awesome details. Love the tiny dot of water at the tip of its beak. A very, very good shot. Like it very much!

Best regards,
Sharina
