Excellent eye contact, and I like the way you have isolated it from the surrounding stubble. Very nice indeed.

Nice one . Interesting how a camera can see through out of focus stuff, if you know what i mean. I reckon a bit off top and bottom Major and a bit then off left !!
I,m usually wrong anyway so no big deal.

Some strange views to comment ratios going on here again :confused:

I like it Major, a very private little scene captured well, perhaps a shame the back ends cropped off, but can't really be helped with this kind of shot.

Cheers,

Lewis.

Second that one Lewis. To the 100 odd that viewed were you just so enthralled or just lost for words? :confused: No confused is not the word.

It's not just that- it's the fact the the difficulty of a subject or the work that goes into getting a shot is often completely passed over.
I think confused is one of the right words :biggrin:

Very nice Major - I've not seen many partridge around this year on the few occasions I've managed to get out & about. Was it a big covey or not?

Hi Major

Cropped a little tight on the left for me but otherwise a very appealing image!

An uncommom motive, very nice image of it :toast: Maybe a bit centered, but otherwise with nice environment!
