It's looking a bit 'hot' on my monitor Richard, but you've gotta admit it's on heck of a pose :wavey:

It's great to see the green staining on the underside of the tail - from running the north side of too many birches :biggrin:

Glad you enjoyed the day matey :wink: :wink:

Looks a cracking shot, Paul, but the whites are definitely way overcooked on my screen!

A bit overexposed as has already been mentioned but the sunlight is attractive in the way it brings out the vividness of the red feathers and the warm tones of the perch.

Another very attractive GSW shot but the whites are pretty hot

I'd wondered what the green was - interesting where it comes from. :smile:
