This fella was getting on his high horse protecting his territory from cars.

very nice indeed and you got the feet too!! bit too much saturation for my tastes but probably not for others

Yes -very good. I agree with Jack - a tad over colourful, but nice .
Cheers

Needs cropping Brian :biggrin:

A tad over saturated on my monitor but a great pose and well composed. Worth reprocessing and great to have this full frame. A very nice image :toast:

Nice - I hadn't noticed a problem with saturation, but it is perhaps evident in the yellows. Full frame too!

Very nice Brian :toast:

Personally I'd like a tad more room at the bottom and a bit more USM but I do like the posture in the shot :wink:

Nice shot Brian and I agree with the nits which have been mentioned.
