Wow, this is an impressive picture Adrian! Excellent water-level closeup with a great setting, color, lighting, feather detail, and eye contact. I love the two drops of water, one at the tip of its bill and one at the base. Brilliant!!!
 
The low angle really makes a world of difference, Adrian; excellent image, very well done. (There's not many of the 10 Reservoirs at my local complex that allow a low angle shot. Many have steep banks, and those that do allow you to get close to the water usually has an Angler sitting there|=)| Although I might get an opportunity when the weather gets colder, as many of the Anglers stay at home in the warm.)
