Fantastic shot! I have tried these as well, never been close enough. I had no idea they had that colouring,very nice. I think what really makes this pic stand out is the smoothness in the water. The water even looks soft. There in no sheen to it. This adds directly to the reflection. I love it!

Great catch. The highlight in the eye and the water droplets add that
little something extra. The colors on the head are in harmony with the water ----Willie

Superb shot. The colours and composition are perfect. Couldn't be better. (Competition bound I'm sure!) - Ed Maxfield

Wonderful capture! The white isn't flashed out except in one small section, and the irridescent colours on the head and face come out beautifully. Fine soft look and feel to the water, and a great catch on the reflection as well. Just a magnificent gentle shot.
