The simple answer to all your question is that I love birds and animals. This may seem simplistic but it is what inspires my photography in general, if you love your subject matter it is a good starting point for how you portray it.
My wife belongs to a voluntary wildlife group that rescue,care and release injured and orphaned animals and this little lake is a spot that we have released many rehabilitated wetland birds so I know it quite well and often wander around these lakes in the early mornings and evenings with camera in hand enjoying nature at work.

| Congratulations on your first blue ribbon. I didn't have time for more than a quick skim through the entries in this challenge and commented only a handful that stood out. I managed to miss this gem which is certainly my loss as it's a striking image.Great silhoutte, great colour and great composition! |

Thank you everyone for all the fantastic comments I was really blown away by the reaction this image received it was so awesome to get all those comments during the challenge and the congrats afterwards has certainly made me feel part of this community. And a big thank you to everyone who voted on this shot.
I kept expecting the score to drop everytime I hit the update button (which was often) but to my surprise it didn't. So I have had a very nervous and enjoyable week and once again thank you to the DPC community you ROCK!! |

| Great golden hues and superb reflections. Like the composition as well. I do not know your feeling about the lines in the upper third of the image. I sort of wish they were not there, but knowing that there was no way to lose them, legally, and there are faint enough, I let them go. 10. .....still my favorite. Hope you ribbon. |

| with the shadow in the water there is an piece that is there and not on the bird itself. up on the right hand side near the middle you had eddited something out of the pix the reason is it is not the same color and the cloud would not have a stright edge. on the bottom of the pix it looks like there was some kind of signature in the right hand corner and the left hand as well. would look better if all of that was not wrong with the pix. |

| Excellent subject and would really have benefited from advanced editng rules to clean it up. You may have a little gif attached to this at the end. |

| Awesome shot, though still not a 10 from me but a 9 easily, nothing really that I can say more than that but good job and hope you do well in the challenge. |

| Great composition and lovely orange - it makes the image stand out. Love the almost perfect simmetry caused by reflection. One of my favourites. 10 |

| This is one of the best, lovely colouring, just enough background detail to provide depth and interest and an arresting subject and reflection, perfectly positioned in the composition. Nice to catch the leg bent too, creates movement. Must ribbon. . . |
