Lovely image, only little nit pick is the top of the birds head, the white seems blown into the background.. :smile:

It is really frustrating how the compression to 720 for the web takes so much away from an image. I have seen this photograph in print and it is excellent. Well done Ian. :wavey: :wink:

Hi Ian,

Nice comp! Looks like you had some tricky lighting, always difficult to pick up the detail underneath against a bright sky, but I think you've done well.

Cheers,

Lewis.
