WOW - a bold comp if ever I saw one Robert :biggrin:

Nice capture and plenty sharp where it matters :toast:

Bit too much empty space above the head for me, but you can't beat being bold - nice one :wink: :wink:

Lovely Stonechat image Robert. Nice and sharp. :toast:
The males always amaze me at how camera shy they can be.

Hi Robert

Very very nice and I quite like the composition but feel there is just a little too much empty space!

Nice colours here - I think in this case a little more detail in the BG would portray this better as an environment shot. But I don't have a pic of one yet so I'm envious!

Hi Robert,

Now I must say I love this composition! A man after my own heart! Awesome capture and superb feather detail! I've been chasing Mr & Mrs Stonechat for a wee bit now but no luck! So congrats on an outstanding capture!

I like this kind of hard crop myself. That dark twig in the background keeps getting my attention now I,ve noticed it. !
Cripes ! that's what this forum does to you !!:biggrin:
