drying after diving

Would have cropped the upper edge

John, I haven't done that as I wanted to show that smallish bird in the compexity of its environment. Thanks very much for your critique. Cheers, Sam.

Thanks for looking. Cheers, Sam.

Sm, there may be too many elements in this photo - the bird, center-placed, makes the composition a little awkward for me.

Christopher, thanks very much for your critique. Personally, I don't have a problem with showing the somewhat chaotic environment Mother Nature creates for her critters. I even think it's rather exciting. Cheers, Sam.
