Here in England,I've never(in the last 65 years,or so}seen/taken such a beautiful ,detailed shot.Now maybe that's because I don't frequent the wetlands, or live near the coast, or have a steady hand, or stand waist deep in lakes, for hours on end(cos lets face it the dog would get bored )and yes I do have a dog, well, four actually.I did once, well for a year or so carry a Manfrotto , but I put it down in a field,walked on a ways, and when I returned it was gone.Apologies for rambling on.
