Perhaps appearing a little central Ray but a super looking Shrike never the less. :toast:

Cracking looking bird Ray - agree with Major with regard to comp :wink: :wavey:

Super bird, comp doesn't bother me but I think it will take some more sharpening

I'm not familiar with these - is it an African species???

its an asian species, pakistan and india being the best countries to see them in

Tricky to crop any differently given the tail, nicely taken Ray :smile:

Very nice image. I would also crop a little from the left, but everyone has different tastes.

nicely taken Ray - the OOF foliage is a little distracting for me, but not much you could have done, well seen and captured

cheers

Nits already mentioned but a nice capture of the subject in any case. There also appears to be some vignetting in the corners, is that from a polariser..?
