Did try takeing out the bits of grass then decided to leave it as it is.

A tad to tight behind the bird, and the whites look a little blown on my screen, reasonable detail in the blacks though on what must have been a difficult one to get given the light.

Could do with a bit more space on the left mate and a bit more on the bottom.
Great stuff . Grass doesn't bother me, but we never got these around Scunthorpe ( Or Barton ) :smile: :smile: :biggrin:

Very nice shot, Keith. However I agree with John about adding some more space on the left and bottom (if possible of course) :smile:
