A very interesting and captivating take on a bird well known to us all. You get the quirkiness of the bird writ large with the fact that it is all neck and legs. The different take on the bird is what makes the image. Obviously nervous putting its head down, the sudden look up creates the water drops which as all in focus, so you know the context. Drops literally a mark or two for being a very tight crop on the RHS. The head is the star of the show and just needs a bit more room. A very close contender for the top spot
