Nice bg and the mouthful of flies really is the icing. Lovely shot. The females seem a lot easier to get than the males to me, I don't know why that should be. Just bad luck maybe.

beautiful image, like the composition and great catch light in the eye. If I was being really picky I might clone out the OOF twig (?) in the top right hand corner. But this is really nice.

cheers

Lovely image of a bird that I've yet to see.

A very nice portrait shot of the Pied Fly.
Like how the light is filtering through onto the bird. :toast:

Nice one, like the space and the way the branch is all in focus.

Hello Phil.

Very nice and good composition.

Agree with Andy about top right corner, I might also just darken the bright area just in front of the bird to match the rest of the back ground.
