Blimey equiv. 1200mm of glass and well secured by the looks .I'd have been tempted to crop a tadge RHS and a bit off the bottom where the OOF bullrush stalk projects up.Nice image though :toast:

I like that background, diffuse enough that the bird stands out, but still recognisable enough to show the habitat.

Regards,

Lovely tones on this. I agree about a little off the right and possibly top to take out the dark stem.

The over all colouration suits this bird well after all its within its natural habitat to a certain degree.Its does work well. :toast:
