Good wildlife capture and showing habitat and a neat reflection. An otherwise static composition gets some dynamics from the ripples. A pleasure to view, Dave!

Stunning capture of this lovely Avocet, the warm light is beautiful. I like his noble stance and you can almost feel his stalking presence. Very nicely captured Dave, the reflection really completes the composition, well done!!
