Second post for me and started to make a few tentative comments!!Bit of a grab shot, was out looking for dippers when this opportunity presented itself. Managed to get a few shots, this one being the best. Looked much sharper on the screen and the head/eye isn't quite there!! Lots of contrast in the shot and there was a big black hole bottom right that i've tried to clone a bit of green into!!!

Canon 40D + 500F4
1/125 sec, F6.3 iso 400

Thanks for looking, Andy Snape

Great idea mate and lovely rich colours to the bird. Its certainly living up to its name .However the cloning may have been better with the patch tool in accompaniment. ( a couple of repeats gives the game away)Not sure if the image is hindered by the advertising boards either.Nice behaviour shot mind.

Hi Andy
Good one. !
As has been said, the text is a bit over powering and the sharpness is not full on but I like this one.
Cheers
