Hi Andy

The low view point really works with this image - I feel I am down there with the bird and I don't mind the OOF BG as it gives a greater feel for it's present habitat. Very nice.

Always the best angle for wader shots - works well for me.

Lovely shot Andy. .. by the way, I bought the bag hide and used it on Sunday to get some pics of pied flycatchers. Seems to work well although it takes some getting used to.
