Nice phil, like it loads!!!! would love to get a shot of them

I like this one Phil because there's plenty of room around the subject and I like the angle of the log perch too.

Perhaps a smidgen off the right?

That BG is pretty sumptuous too - nice one :toast:

Super shot. The line of the perch matching the line of the bird makes it for me.

Great image Phillip, nice bg and the red start is nice and sharp. Did you use flash?

I love Redstart and this is a cracking picture. I find them rather difficult, especially round the eye. The perch and the complimenetary background make it a really super composition

Everything's already been said.

Is your job going out and photographing birds? Have you won the lottery?
