Another from my day at Bempton, this time not so large in the frame with room to fly

Lovely image, well done

Lovely detailed image Ian. What is the oof stuff at right? It looks like one of those kiddies Lego characters we used to get (maybe still do).

Beautiful flight shot - great exposure - am curious about the right too - cliff perhaps?

It's always intrigued me when people say the subject needs room to fly into. It can't, its frozen in time and space Compositionally though this image looks fine. A very nice capture.

Great capture.

Hi,

Robert Kim : the OFF stuff is the cliff at Bempton, I did try to remove it but it looked rubbish


David : I usually like em big in the frame as well but thought I would try one a little different

Lovely! I like the pose of the bird and the comp. Not so sure about the green bit - I think it would be improved without it as the viewer doesn't really get the impression it is a cliff or other relevant background. The bird itself is strong enough to stand alone.

Thanks for the comments

Heres another one with out the distracting splash of colour

I like the repost a lot more, the small amount of vegetation really works and getting him to look your way is a bonus!
