Linnet

One from this morning.

A prickly experience for me, as they were nesting in a gorse bush, but finally managed a few frames {between gusts of wind}.

Stands out beautifully against the dark background (what is that)Very nice portrait

Dave

Just the shadow/underside of a large tree Dave.

Wish the little blighter was doing something, but better than a poke in the eye, and worth a few gorse spikes in the back-side

cheers

Alan

Hi Alan,

OUCH! , But well worth it . Think the Linnet stands out very well from the shadow BG. Also a nice perch, comp and colours look good, I have these in my garden but they are jumpy little blighters

Regards

Rob

Good one, Alan, nice perch and BG!

Alan

Very nice detailed shot stands out well.

A super Linnet portrait Alan and the BG just adds that bit of extra "oomph" - lovely job

A cracker! Really pops and I love the BG and perch.

Dave

Linnet on Gorse now seems to be parr for the course. Years ago it was Hawthorn.
My how times change. After that ramble Alan I have to say it works very well.

Major.

Hi Alan
I'm amazed we don't see more of these although I've never managed a decent shot myself, I like this one the dark background works very well.

Regards

Very nice image Alan sharp well exposed and with a very nice background which makes him pop.

Unlike every shot I have taken of one


Ian

Wow, can't get near these me sen, very tidy shot.

Tim

Nice shot Alan , like the perch and the BG

Andy...

All the elements working well here Alan - nice portrait indeed.



Mark

Nice colourful portrait that really pops out. Not overly keen on the dark BG, but each to their own.

That looks really good to me, I wish I had one like this.
