This little bird was on a piece of driftwood lazily drifting down the Yakima River near my home. The sun was just setting turning the river into a golden ribbon of water.

Excellent picture! I like this composition and the gold lights...
It reminds me The Beatles' "Black bird"

Beautiful capture Mike. I like the point just as the water is forced up before it falls and of course the golden color makes a nice even backdrop for the silhouette of the bird;-)

Absolutely amazing photo, Michael. The reflection is perfect. The sillhouette is perfect. The slight ripples in the water are perfect. As usual, a wonderful shot. 10/10 and in favorites!

Don't miss the beautiful colours of the rainbow while you're looking for the pot of gold at the end of it.
