Very interesting photo. It looks as if the golden sheen on the wings is from a sunset behind the bird , but then looking at the shadow cast on the water, the light comes from the front of the bird? Can you please enlighten me?
M-L, it looks to me as if the sun is high in the sky as the log is leaning towards the camera and shadow of the log and the bird are not elongated which means the sun is catching the wings at an angle.

Beautiful shot - the wings almost look bronzed.

You might be right Alison, I wonder if it was at sunset, because of the colour? It makes it look like a bronze statue.

Hi Guys
Time of photo was 6.50am.
Light was weird, sun was behind me
Regards Alan
Thanks Alan, this is the kind of photo opportunity that will never happen again. Well done.
There is a lokal lake where I live, in the morning the surface looks golden. I might go there one day and take some photos.

Thanks for the explanation Alan, I like that each extreme time of the day was covered except ..... midnight.
