Always lovely to see these Major. We used to have a couple that visited our garden, they seemed to have disappeared now. Nice image!

Lovely portrait Major although the WB looks off on my screen. Have you tried this in the 'shade' or 'cloudy' setting in NX?

Lovely portrait Major, the detail in the face is very nice, agree with Des re the WB, the image does look very cool.

Is this any better? May be the polarizer didnt have time to remove it from the lens.

Hi Major,
Wonderful shot of this little fellow.
Great PoV and sharpness.

Second shot is ace, I can see what the difference is. I am learning so much from this site.

Cute looking beast and a good close-up portrait. The re-post is my favourite of the two. :toast:

This is a lovely and cute photo major, the chin resting on the wall is just great, i can see this on a 'get well card' or 'sorry' card its that cute, upsetting to see so many killed at the side of the roads at present, well done :wink: :wavey:
