very nice composition, like how all the grasses are going one way and the birds head goes the other

Very nice indeed Paul. I prefer this image to the last one. Composition is spot on with the oof background in just the right place to highlight the bird. Cracking shot.

Looks good enough to eat. :biggrin: Not that I condone blood sports, mind you, but I have no objection to shooting game for the pot. Subject and environment spot-on.

PS

I have answered your question on my posting. :smile:

The grasses add life and movement to this shot.. It's a beauty.

I like it. Looks like a wild and windswept setting. :toast:

They dont get much more wind swept than the high peaks Justin, Glad everyone likes it.
