Tree Pipit
Still no Water Rail for me :biggrin: The rats and Pipits keep stealing all the food. I'm thinking my head off to find a way to prevent the rats stealing it all. In the meantime I'll have to do it with these two.

Beautiful colours and tone Edwin. Nice detail and composition. A little more space might improve what is already a fine image.

Oh Edwin, just look at those ripple reflections on the birds chest - cracking stuff :toast: :toast: :toast:

I'd be giving myself a big pat on the back if I was you :wavey:

Paul might have a point though - just a tiny bit smaller in the frame, just enough so the head of the bird and the reflection are a tad further from the frame edge :wink:

Class image Edwin :wavey: :wavey:

Great light and the reflections are spot on,agree with a bit more room. :toast:

Hi Edwin,

A lovely looking image and as Andy has already mentioned to capture those reflected ripples on the chest makes this image even more special.
:toast: :toast:

Andy... :smile:

Hi Edwin,

Lovely shot, the ripples is an added bonus which makes it super. There a few dust spots on the left of the image that need sorting. As far as the rats go take an airgun into your hide and trim a few up.

Regards
