Hi Major

Great low angle giving a nice BG but what I like most about the image is the soft light and touch of rim lighting!

Excellent shot of one of my favourite passerines - I like the bird's eye perspective.

Excellent image. Not that it detracts from the image but I was wondering if the rim lighting natural or an artifact of sharpening, either way I really like it.

No Tom the rim lighting is natural. I have to confess that I didnt like it at first as I felt that it looked as though the bird had been pasted on, but its grown on me some what.
