Phil, lovely shot, I find it very relaxing. Clarity and sharpness are spot on and the BG (and foreground) bokeh is great. No need to worry about posting too often when the quality is this good :smile:

Cheers

John

Great PoV Phil - very nice image all round, I think they are hard to produce a good image of because their eyes look like a 'wild dead stare!'

You just keep 'em comming Phil - I never tire of looking at quality images :toast: :toast: :toast:

Very good "portrait" of so often overlooked bird. I'm glad that it made you stop.

Cheers,
