Lovely detail on the bird, Ian, but as it is looking into the bottom right corner you have a lot of wasted space top and left. A shame, but hopefully you have others with the bird looking into the shot.

I think I would probably have tried croping the LHS and not the right on this one Ian. Lovely detail in the Rail.

A lovely bird, never seen one myself.
I think you've cropped the wrong side too Ian, nice detail though :smile:
