Perhaps the bird needs to fly a little further west.

Perhaps. I'll go back there and take it again.

Just shift it a little, like you did with my boat.

Sorry, can't - it's a protected species.

To humour you, I've shifted it slightly west, but on Flickr am keeping the original version because although the difference is minor, IMHO the cormorant and the stork balance one another better.

Fabulous capture,.. I'd say it could be a competition winner.... would look good hanging on a lounge wall - Cheers '' from > David J.. U.K.

[ added to group ] thanks,.....

In a hotel?

Merveilleux !

Or a lavatory. Looking at this would relax you whilst doing your business.

So are my photos, but it doesn't stop you interfering with them.

Remarkable shot!

They are very nicely balanced here, now that you've moved him slightly away from the trees.
A top shot that was worth going for.

There's a message somewhere from the fact that initially-rejected shots, like this example uploaded as an afterthought, often turn out the most popular. Is it because they're uploaded in isolation, and not one of a batch taken on the same trip, uploaded in quick succession?

The great advantage of photographic tours over ordinary small-group tours is that some of the excursions are run early or late in the day when the lighting is interesting, and also that the bus will stop when and where there are photo-opportunities, and on these impromptu stops (this was one; the bus had pulled in by a bridge) often result in the best pictures. Also that at every location they allow sufficient time for pictures to be taken.

I cannot account for other people's tastes. Some people fave so many that I wonder if they ever have time to look at them again. I would fave this myself if it weren't foreign, but you know I like to keep an English theme in my stream. I cannot understand why you would initially reject one of the best pictures in this series.

If you upload photos separately, I think your contacts might see each one in their thumbnails, whereas a succession of photos will just show the first one.

INCREDIBLE CATCH !!
