Taken last year I think. Going through hard drive and stumbled across this.Posted one similar maybe, but my processing has changed quite dramatically in that time.

Graeme, lovely image, the colours of the Stonechat really stand out! Funnily enough I took a break from sorting out some of my Stonechat pics to pop in here for a look! I was re-processing some of them because like you my PS have gotten a little better since some of them were taken.
None as good as this one though :toast:

Thanks for the comments.

Chris, this was taken a Aylesbeare Common which is between Exeter and Sidmouth.

Super details, I think it works so much better because of the lack of light :toast: :toast:

Very, very nice - and the darkish BG goes with it superbly

The prickly perch contrasts well with the colourful bird, I like it.
Best wishes
