Pretty bird - looks like it enjoyed a crab dinner.... doubt the crab did tho' .

Thanks Nick - am still finding my way around and will use the hosting service in future as you suggest.
As for the crab - he was summarily dismembered......
Cheers - Graham.

Nice light on that fellow, love the bonus crab.
He has such an expression of concentration about him, not sure whether he's poised to stab the crab with his beak, or trying to figure out a way of getting inside!
Only nit is the oof blobs in the background, right behind the main point of interest..

Great first post Graham - welcome
The PoV and comp are great - though if I were to be super-picky then the darker bits behind the beak are a bit undesirable.
Very nice though - looking forward to seeing more

Hi Graham and welcome. Nice shot and prefer the second of the two - you've retained the interaction with the crab but lost the competing things in the background (which is nicely blurred). Well exposed too. Look forward to more
