That's lovely. I like the composition and the bird's pose. Is it maybe a little on the bright side? (I've only seen these a couple of times though)

A very well detailed and composed shot Maggie, very nicely done :toast:

Fine shot as it stands, Maggie. Maybe a slight improvement would come from allowing the bird a little more room to look into at the bottom? Either way, a nice image of a species I keep meaning to have a crack at.

Cheers,
Chris

Nice clear image Maggie. One species I haven't actually tried yet, gives me a kick to go out and find one.... perhaps not around here in Norfolk though !

Beautiful shot Maggie, lovely pose and setting. :toast:

I agree with Chris that it needs a little more space at the bottom, but otherwise a lovely shot with plenty of detail.

Lovely and very detailed image, but I also agree with Chris and David that it needs some more space at the bottom.

Thanks everyone, your comments are much appreciated. I agree it would have been better with more room at the bottom.

That's beautiful Maggie. A hard bird to expose well and they always seem to be on the far side of the stream when I try to catch them. Very well done.

Hello Maggie.

Nice caprure and lovely detail and the exposure on the bird is spot on.

Nits covered but I would also try and clone over the burn out whites in the top right corner.
