Hi,

I'm not going to post a Stag or Hind from Richmond :biggrin: Instead I am posting an image of one of the Jackdaws that spend their time around the refreshment van/kiosk...

As shot, I suppose I could have spent time cleaning the extra post and leaves etc., but not my thing....

All the best & good to meet Colin who drove all the way from Bristol this morning, trust you had a safe journey home and you got the images you wanted...

Ha ha, I nearly posted the same but changed my mind. A super image Phil, he/she was the star of the show...well almost :biggrin: :biggrin: Personally I like the autumnal leaves, they add a little extra something.

Looking forward to seeing some more images from the day soon.

Great detail and lovely eye. Really like the background too and agree with Fran the autumnal leaves do add to the image. :wavey:

Hi Phil

Glad to see you got him in the end - you've captured lots of detail and yes you could have cloned out the second post- but I like it as it is.

Good to meet up with you guys today - had a good time - got lots of pics to process but have to look at those tomorrow.

Cheers

Colin

Cracking shot Phil, would leave the post and leaves just where they are! Great detail and colour, very underrated species!

Cheers,

Lewis.

This is a very nice and well composed image. The autumnal leaves really add to the appeal. :smile:
