... from another angle!
Thanks for the comments on my last LTT upload. I mentioned missing the perfect BG on my last shot due to an exhausted battery and this shot shows the BG I would have had Stiill pleased with my last shot regardless though.
I know this shot goes against the rules and head on shots are generally frowned upon and unappealing, but I'm keeping this as I think it has appeal...to me anyway!
Your thoughts on this would be appreciated
Again, full frame and techs the same as previous upload.
Thanks for looking

Hi Graeme
Head-on works for me here, great eye contact with the bird. And what a super background. Maybe a fraction more depth of field would be nice but not important.
I like it.
cheers

The eyes do it without a doubt.
You are drawn to them no matter wher you look.

I love this shot
And who made up the rule about head on shots NOT being unappealing
Well done Graeme

Hi Graeme
Another beautiful LTT image and although I think head on shot of many small birds don't work this one does. Great BG and soft light!
