 Was following a Cormoran bird for a while and watch it finally 'land' on water, getting ready to fish for its evening meal. I moved towards it to get this shot... waiting knee-deep in very cold water until it would gladly stretch its wings for me.

Simply desaturated the pic and did a smaller crop. Used the stamping tool slightly on the bird' s body to remove some noise and finally, enclosed with a black frame to suit with the bird.

Unsure about this shot; I like the basic idea of it, but there seems a lack of variation through frame in tonal terms - it's almost entirely black, white, or mid grey, and i think that's isolated the reflections too much; they don't quite come across as sparkle on water, but rather as an abstract patterning. Otherwise, lots of good stuff here.
