Hi Micke,
ah "my" bird ;-)) It's great to see your pictures as we share alot of the subjects.
You captured a very good action, the details are very good. And it's nicely frozen.
I like the DOF ans comnpostion too.
Very well done, my friend.
The dipper has arrived to the park now. Maybe I try to catch it tomorrow.

Hej Mikael,
This is an excellent action shot of the Dipper. This is sharp and well composed. In fact it is one of the best shots that I have seen of this species.
Well done!
Hälsningar,

A warm welcome to TN, Mikael.
What a fantastic shot.
A great moment caught... on the verge of take-off.
The POV and pose are just wonderful,
and the drops of water behind him just add to the dynamic feel.
Thank you for sharing. : )

This is a truly great photo, Mikael! I think you have caught this beautiful bird in action in a fantastic way. Good composition, interesting crop and great PP work. Maybe a blackpoint/whitepoint adjustment would have made it even more brilliant? Very impressive!

This is one of my favorite birds but because of the mild winter they have not arrived to Småland yet! I hope we will get some cold weather....
