Another from my trip to cornwall.

I quite like this Paul,

Fortunately the bird is set against the BG rock, and allows the rim lighting effect to be fully effective {may have been lost if set against the sea}.

Great to have managed a catch-light from this angled light direction!

Nice one :toast: :toast:

Nicely lit shot, the rim lighting really makes those legs glow. :toast: :toast: Eric

Very nice environment shot Paul. The bird is well positioned against the darker background and stands out really well. Like it.

Lighting is lovely and I also like the green vegetation - there's just that and the bird's legs in "colour" in the shot and I think they go well with each other :smile:
