Re: This weeks Dipper shot

Very good shot, nice and clear, and an unusual POV.

How did you manage that one?

I've seen Dippers on European rivers, and have always found them fascinating. You've captured them well... I'm impressed.

Mike.

Cheers Mike
This particular pair have nested in a hole in a wall below a bridge.
I was standing on the bridge pointing the camera downwards
Theres been no Jiggery Pokery whatsoever done to the b/g - its just the rippling water.

What a fantastic shot, Mike, you must be well pleased with that.

The water in the background is what sets it apart from the others for me but when combined with the rather original perspective on the perch...and then the food, all topped off with the ultra sharp eye and very pleasing complimentary tones throughout the picture...brilliant.
