Great action but given the choice of with or without the chimney I think I'd prefer without. Still a cracking shot as it is.

Hi Andy - I too would prefer the shot without the chimney but it's still a cracking image full of detail and another great action capture.

IMO the chimney is not disturbing, but without would be better I think.
Good shot (with or without chimeny).

I would prefer it without the chimney, but its still a shot I would have been happy with.

For behaviour I prefer your earlier post. I think this one would be better either without the brickwork or perhaps with more of it. Maybe as the entire background, depicting the urban environment.

Just a thought.
Cheers

Cracking shot, and you've certainly done the absolute best you can by lining up the chimney and wire, but it just distracts on the tail feathers of the adult that bit too much for me.

Still a cracking shot though and bar having a demolition kit with you I guess not much you could do !

I tend to agree about the chimney but still a nicely timed shot. Nice work.
