A very long wait today but well worth it!
Starting to use the perch after a long absence and starting to fish from it as well so hopefuly more to come!

Great bird and perch and well worth your wait Craig. Just find the BG a bit garish. :toast:

A really nice shot, but it looks a bit over-saturated to me. I wouldn't mind it though.

Very nice portrait... for me perhaps a tad big in the frame but fine for web presentation... also agree on turning down the saturation a little..

one to be proud of, perhaps a little oversaturated but still a great shot.

Great shot! I'm so envious - I've been going back and forth to try to find one for weeks now.

Excellent shot Craig and a nicely detailed. Great perch too. Agree with the comments re slightly over saturated colours (to my eye).

Definitley agree with this being over saturated (viewing on a calibrated EIZO) however its easily fixable and is a great shot - like the perch.
