This fella looks very content, though I'm assuming that water is icy cold! Great compo...love his smooth downy soft look and those water swirls add a spectacular movement to the photo.

You mentioned some new equipment....please share what it is! 😀

Cheers...Donna 😊

Beautifully rendered with simple, uncluttered composition. Nothing distracts from the clean lines of the bird while the water, while having interesting texture, acts as a subtle backdrop. Most of that is down to the photographer, whatever gear used.
