Nice subject nice capture Steve

Nice comp - goes well with the head turn.

Tad less room at the top and a tad more at the bottom - just to ease the end of that very long tail.

Wonderful bird with a superb bg.

Thanks Paula, but the BG might be a tad high on the 'warm' side.

Hi Eric, when I first started to post here I was a little apprehensive. Saying that, the comments received has bolstered my confidence which in turn I hope has reflected in the standard of postings. Plus, I have been fortunate in the locations I have had the opportunity in visiting. Lets see what the future brings

Barrie many thanks for taking the time, I enjoy hearing from the 'Chuckle Brothers'
