Stunning image! Superb colours and details. Maybe a little tight on top, but you could easily add canvas.

Excellent comp, lovely detail and pin sharp. All makes for a first class image.

Great image Guy. Pin sharp and a super BG to offset the bird.

Good stuff Guy - love the b/g and lighting: the former all to hard to find when these dare come into the open.

Hello Ian.

Thanks for you comment.

Can see what you mean about background, I have had another look at the image before posting and its fine. Not to sure why this as happened in the posting but thanks for pointing it out to me.

Hi Guy,

I had a look at the picture on 2 screens before posting the reply, and even then I was not too sure if I needed to get my eyes looked at.

I suspect its to do with image resizing for web, as I bet the larger and printed image do not display this effect.

Its still a cracker of a shot :toast:
