1d2n canon 400 f5.6 Taken at the same time as my recent Purple Sandpiper shots.

I like this one Craig - it's different - interesting perching surface and pose

My only slight nit is the OoF pale BG above the birds back - a little distracting.

Great image all the same though

Agree with Andy about the distraction, but it is a great pose on an excellent perch. The more I look at it, the more I like it.

Hi Craig,

Nice image , nit's already been covered , I'd say you've done well to control those whites in what looks like harsh light , good capture.

Regards

Andy...

Hi Graig,

I like this shot but do agree with Andy about the BG though.

Lovely shot, I agree with everyone, I would clone that white patch...

Very nice Craig. This is the sort of image I'd post with that blob in it and then everyone would say clone it out.... I'm with the rest on this one and it's certainly worth a bash at cloning it out

Yep get rid of the light patch.... very nice image and pose from the bird... looks like it could handle a little lift in the levels....

Agree with above comments-nice pose and perch

Love the pose but agree re white marks - would quick mask them rather than cloning. Agree with Phil re a little lightening
