Hi Andy,

The rule of thirds spring's to mind! :biggrin: Very nice capture. Makes me want to head out tomorrow and have a crack at them but all this bad weather (hail and wintery showers) and a three mile walk just doesn't inspire! :smile: The out of focus sandling is adds to a story!

very nice, can be a tricky bird or at least when your longest is a 300 :biggrin:

very much like the composition but would have prefered if the head was turned side on, though you may well have one from this sequence anyway

Yes, I like it too, the semi-pano crop works well, good colours and nice composition. I like the inclusion of the oof bird too.
