WOW, this is a great image. It looks like the bird has been stuck in the water and glued into position. The bird is pin sharp, very well composed and has lovely tones and contrast. I like how you have managed to capture the background free of distractions. A wonderful image and very worthy winner. Congratulations

This is cracking! I really like how you have captured this bird diving with a trailing leg. The large splash of water adds a lot to the image as there isn't much bird to see. The background is non-distracting too. Well done for a great and pin sharp image.

For this contest I am looking for your colour photos of birds photographed whilst they are diving. There are specific birds known as diving birds, but you can photograph any species of bird as long as the bird shown is diving. Please include the water they are diving into in the image. There could be more than one bird but all must be diving. Please only enter colour images and no people in the photos.

WOW, I like this image as I can see the head of this diving Cormorant. The bird is very well composed and is pin sharp. I love the tones and contrast of the bird's dark feathers as you have captured a great level of detail in them. A great image, well done.

This is a cracking and funny image of a Gannet diving. I like how it appears to have been glued into the water upright. The Gannet is pin sharp and very well composed too. Well done for a lovely image.
