Nice one Alan...

I think we will have to keep quiet about our secret manfrotto articulated arm setups :wink: :biggrin:

All the best

A cracking shot Alan, with an interesting perch, great lighting, pose and background. How to do it even better? I think the weakest aspect of the shot is the overall composition. It doesn't feel quite right, not entirely balanced. Perhaps the bird is too central and bit too large. Just nit picking. :toast:
