Lovely shot John with a wonderful painterly background. Not so keen on the square format though. Would prefer more empty space to left of image. Still miles better than any wagtail shot I have at present!

Bogey bird for me John but not for you it seems - nicely executed :toast:

Like Robert I'm never keen on square images myself, but I do wish you'd stop with the heavy black borders Guv - nice light 2 or 3 pixel wide is great, but heavy ones sometimes throw the image out of balance - imho of course - you obviously like 'em :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: :toast: :wavey:

Nice! Square is fine by me.

Thanks everyone.
Interesting about the borders Andy. I've done this ever since I started posting on the net a few years back and it kind of stuck. I thought of ita s a kind of trademark I suppose. I'll have to have a a play! :rolleyes:
Cheers
