Art in Motion

By albi  
I took an early ( 5am ) trip over the reservoir this morning before work to try and capture the Terns reflection in the water plus some catchlight in the eyes. The sun is low enough and the water a bit more calm at this early time.

4 gig later I was more than happy with my work.

Thanks for looking.

All 3 are stunning sharp captures, hard to pick one, but will plump for V1, outstanding camera work.

I'm not surprised you're delighted with your work. The first photo is one of the best natural wildlife shots you're ever likely to see. Well done that man!

Excellent series of shots Tony, very hard to choose but I think V1 just edges it for me. Well worth the early start.

For me I'd have put 2,3 or 4 as the lead image, I think each is stronger, though in differing ways, than 1.

A good set though

Great set Tony,V3 is my favorite,it's a bit different & you are relying on that great reflection to show the features of the bird.

2 and 3 are my favourites Cheryl but I thought 1 was stronger comp wise... Thanks for the input....
