Hi Stu,

Cracking shot. I'm sure he's laughing at me, and then waited until I did get on him then flew off :mad:

Regards

Rob


PS Might go for SEO near Bury some point at the weekend if you fancy it unless the Hares are active at yours :wink:

Stu, this one does not do the bird justice, first shot was way better... :wavey:

Perhaps a little lift in curves/levels might help the face? :wink:

Hi Stu,

Nice pose of a bird on a stick. :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

I think not being able to see the eye clearly doesn't do this shot any justice. I think Steve's suggestion maybe worth a try.

It looks pretty well exposed to me, it just suffers from the same problem you get with any bird whose black eyes are set among black feathers. What it really needs is a catchlight :wink:
Still a fine shot.

I'm with Eric on this one. Definitely needs a good catchlight. Pity, because other than that I really like it.
