Hi to all,

Here's another Cuckoo shot from the other day, not sure if the OOF branch spoils the image ??? thanks for looking.

Converted in DPP / Processed in CS2 ( Big crop )

Usual bits and pieces
1/320th @ F8 -1/3rd E/comp iso400

Regards

Andy...

looks like it's almost falling off the perch, the rusted iron is great but the branch at the back is a bit distracting

Another fine shot Andy but I too find the OFF branch grabbing my attention.

Nice to be able to actually see a cuckoo Andy. Overall I find the image just a bit 'busy' for me. The branch is distracting and so is the white oof 'post?' below the bird.

Another excellent shot; well done for making the most of this opportunity. How about a vertical crop to reduce the impact of the Oof branch, it would suit the bird's posture nicely IMO.

I agree with the comments regarding the background folliage but still a good shot to have in your collection.

Composition works well.
