Desert Wheatear
Desert Wheatear, photographed on a very cold but sunny November morning last year, virtual feet may not be to everyone's taste, but I think they place a little emphasis on the lovely rippled sand, though I may be wrong :biggrin: thanks for looking.

This is a lovely image, no problem for me that it's feet are not showing. This image works well with the rippled sand :smile:

An excellent image. If you hadn't mentioned its feet I wouldn't have even noticed. :eek: :wink:

looks good to me too Andy, a very nice image. I particularly like the ripples of sand.

The rippled sand is fantastic and the bird ain't bad either :wink: . Lovely image overall. A bit more room on top would be good,

Hi Andy,

Great stuff, love the POV and colour throughout the image, I wouldn't worry about the feet!

Cheers,

Lewis.

Hi Andy
the undualations of the sand certainly add something different and if you hadn't mentioned the feet I wouldn't have noticed either .
Agree on the comments on the space allocation.Super detail and the catchlight ,yes.

A first class image any photographer, pro or amateur would be proud of.
