Great shot, great BG

Nice comp and cracking detail Dave

Tails a bit tight at the bottom would be my minor niggle - but that BG is really nice - aren't they stunning birds

Lovely shot Dave

Can't believe that ive rarely trained my lens on these birds over the years, as they really are extremely photogenic {as proved in this shot}

Hello Dave.

Nicely done, the light on the bird and the dark background could'nt be better.
