Good one Ian

and lots of impact thanks to the very low shooting angle.

I am not normally a fan of b.i.f. shots, but I think this one works superbly. Like Justin, I like the low angle that gves the shot so much impact.

Is this guy still alive! Thought he'd have died from exhaustion by now (assuming this is the bird I think it is)! Good on him.

Nice low angle, Ian, but I don't like the road surface. Perhaps a little more of a head turn to reveal more of the eye would have been nice too. Although the light is a tad harsh it does reveal that lovely Iridescence in the green feathers.

Cheers,
Chris
