I never expected to see the other half of the image to be the bird again...

Great angle that you worked for, to get this double image.

The picture loads just slow enough to surprise you...

Fascinating and creative...have you considered trimming the outer edges all around even closer? Than again you might have, and this is it.

Thank you Sindri, Reyno, John and John. Very kind of you.
johnstoy, Unfortunately the shot is already heavily cropped to the maximum. The birds were a bit too far away for my 400mm lens. Must get a TC !

The reflection is so good in this shot snappa it looks like one of the birds is upside down. Good shot, well done.

I really like it - but how about cloning out those distracting blobs on the water?

Thank you Tony, Damian and Rob for the nice comments. I wasn`t really sure about this shot to be honest and never even noticed the blobs. It is cropped to the max so.........
the blobs stay ! HaHa.

Snappa, i think this is a good shot, if its heavely cropped i wouldn't go in any more, but i do think with a bit of very careful cloning/editting the blobs/floating debris could be removed and this should lift the picture.

keep up the good work ! and no "crash helmut required"

Hope you don't mind, i've just had a quick edit on you picture?

No probs at all Glenn. Truth be told I am absolutely useless at PP`ing although I can just about clone things out. Have to confess that Damian and Rob were correct and it does look better blobless.
