Andy i like this ! bird in it's habitat the mushy bits of heather blend in nicely with the in focus bits and the bg and the bird itself is super,

Really nice, love the heather. More room at the bottom? maybe personal i guess. Really attractive shot

Thanks for the feedback guys

Hi Phil, a little more room at the bottom would be better, but I made a hash of the composition in camera so thats all there is unfortunately

I'm not sure I agree with Phil about more space at the bottom, I think it would have made the mush too dominant. I like it the way it is.
