I've looked at this a couple of times now and can't make my mind up. Lighting is good and nice low angle, but I keep looking at the oof b/g which seems 'doughnutty' - reminiscent of a mirror lens, with tiny golden circles all over it.

Hi John all i can think of is that it wse caused by the vibration from my car as I had the lens rested on the window on a beanbag with the engine running here's another image of the same species without a lot of specular highlights in the back ground.

Hi Philip
I prefer the second picture. The bird seems to be more relaxed. :toast:
