Sindri those are just superb. I love the low perspective and the 2nd last shot is book worthy!

Agreed. Another wonderful series Sindri.

I think you and Jon both swim with these birds to get so close and right at the waterline like this. :)

great shooting as always,

A wonderful series, so much so that I can't choose a favorite.

I haven't been on this forum all that long Sindri but I've already separated some of the best photographers who leave a profound impression. You are in that small group. This set again displays your talent as a superb photographer. All of them are so good that picking a favourite would diminish the others so I won't do it. My hat's off to you.

Fantastic shots Sindri.
Frábærar myndir í alla staði! Ég er hræddur um að það verði ekki bara ég sem verð í vandræðum með að toppa það sem tekið var í þessari ferð :-)

Beautiful bird in beautiful light, you must have a good back to get the low angle you most always have.

Job well done,


I Love my Canon,
