 I should enter this in the free study. Everyone knows water drops win.

The thing in it's mouth is bread someone down the shore was throwing. It took a piece and flew off, tried to eat it for a few minutes but it was too hard. It took the bread to a spot on the ice that had open water, dunked it a few times and then ate it.

Nice and simple, and that's what makes it work. I wonder how a tad more contrast would make this look.

This is awesome! And yes, you should have entered it into the free study and given Irene a run for her money :)

I love the story behind it. It's so amazing to watch the resourcefulness of animals. I really love this photo.

Smart boid. It's a good thing with these side challenges, that you can add a little info that changes the perception of the pic.

Good timing! There is lots to like in this photo - the ripples and texture of the water, the hint of a reflection, the one ruffled feather. Good work!

PAW - Nice catch. Is it standing on ice? This would be interesting cropped to the head, drops and ripples if it could still be clear enough. I think for a water drop to win your user name needs to be IreneM.

Nice story to go with the photo. They are so smart sometimes! Excellent black and white! I like the leading line in the bottom right taking you right to the bird, bread an dripping water.

Very nice shot and yes the water drops are great.

Very well done! Fun pose and I love the patterns in the water.

I think the water drop part has to be a macro, though, if you want to get a blue ribbon. I read it somewhere ;-)

No idea what's in it's beak - but love the composition and processing.

Very nice shot.

That's excellent. Ilove the ripples from the water drops, and the reflections on the water-glazed sand.

That intense eye seems to be the focal point in this for me. Nice contrasty shot, and, with drops too! : )
