Bonza mate, she's a ripper 8) Staged or serendipitous - not that it matters? Jon the whingeing pom

A wonderful image that I would be happy to have on my office wall were there were space. To help you understand quite what an accolade that is, I have yet to take an image of my own that I feel sufficiently proud of to display on any wall :( Where was the shot taken? Jon

Moody and atmospheric: wonderful use of PP effects. Jon

Stellar shot that stands head and shoulders above the majority of images of this type: including my own efforts :roll: The reflection in the rippled water is exquisite and must have required careful exposure and/or positioning to get right whilst maintaining such superb detail in the demoiselle. Was this sheer happenstance or the result of careful planning and patience? Jon

I like the distant composition on this, it's different from most Kingfisher shots we see. Regards David +1 I remember my first successful shot of a kingfisher with great fondness. Jon

Stunning: an image that captures the ethereal beauty of the Tuscan landscape in the vicinity of Siena. Grazie molto, Giulio 8) Jon

:mrgreen:

Another atmospheric shot that takes me back to my student days when I lived in Sheffield and had regular access to the Peak District and its many fine walks.

Excellent choice of viewpoint, shutter speed, DOF and stitching software to create a virtual gateway through time and space to a beckoning green place. I'd love to see a copy hung poster size in an installation with a recording of the sounds of the water and wildlife. Respect!

Evocative: my only criticism being that your image does not actually function as gateway to being there 8) Jon
