Excellent! Very difficult to get these right (in my experience anyway!) and this looks great.

Hi Kim
Cracking waggy shot. There seems to be a slight blueish tinge on my monitor especially on the rock. No big deal.
Lovely composition.

Lovely bird shot in its usual habitat. I say usual because i seen a Grey wag in the local asda car park the other day! :eek:
Maybe a slight blue cast, but hard to tell on my monitor.
All the best
Rob.

Hi there
Thanks for all the comments. I have looked at the original picture and the rock is rather blue so I really am not sure now whwether it is something I have done or whether it was a blue rock!! Next time I am in Llanfairfechan I will check!! But I do appreciate the helpful comments and criticism and hope it will continue to come
