French Partridge
This one had just finished dust bathing in very harsh light with a dark background. Had to do a bit of selective work on this .

Hello John, I haven't been on the forum for what seems like an age but I can see the standards haven't changed. I think this is a fantastic shot. Bags of depth and detail, superbly processed and the pose really portrays the secretive nature of the bird. Great image.

I like it John, the grass and leaves frame the bird perfectly and the light really makes the bird 'pop'.
