Hi Stu,

I know him! :biggrin: Nice shot showing a different pose/perch. I like the alert pose and colours look good. Looks like there are a couple of dust bunnies, just above and to the right of his beak and middle left just above ground level. There is a fairly big flock of Linnets there now to :wink:

Regards

Rob

Hello Stuart.

Nice detail and a nice pose. I think I might just remove that one out of focus blade of grass on the right that sticks up. Other than that thumbs up. :wavey:
