Hi Christopher, Great snap. 7/7. Love the reflection as well.

Thanks,

Harsha.

Outstanding! 7/7.

Perfection as usual my friend.  The colors are wonderful and the image comes even more alive on large view. 

Looks like she's following the tracks of another.. the male?

A real work of art Christopher. Fantastic reflection and hues. Good balance with splash and space she is flying into.

Great one Christopher, BTW I think you should display your images at  1x.com.

Great capture ! 6

Fantastic!

This is  very very nice photo.

It demonstrates symmetry, motivation, excitation, and effort.

Excellent capture, excellent composition and well presented work! 7

great in every way!

Extremely remarkable job. A visual delight.

What impeccable timing! Timing and asthetics are superb. Best regards, Linh Dinh

A first class capture of this bird "walking on the water"..the p/p work is excellent which is always your "norm"...great shot again mate!

Perfect

Your thoughts ?

Wow! Beautiful image, a real frozen in time shot that is a delight to view. The high ISO explains the super fast shutter speed and the F4 aperture explains the misty blurred background, does this also explain the misty foreground or is that something added or modified afterwards?.......I think probably the former, but I'm curious only because it looks absolutely brilliant. Top marks from me also!

Best Regards

Alf

An amazing shot - I can't see how it could get any better than this.

Actually the misty background is fog the green in the background is foliage that is above the low fog.I think the misty appearance in front might be the actual reflection of the fog.I dont remember its been a year since I took this shot.There has been no photoshop other that your basic tune up.

I hope this helps.

Thanks everyone for your time and comments

Nice work again Chris, the shot is really well balanced and that effective use of thirds along with your skillful post process work which always enhances your main subject the effective use of blur to mute the details around the subject helps so much and you keep it well balanced.. Again skillful your mate MJ
