Taken on Porthcawl seafront this afternoon. The kids wandered off in Disgust and disowned the silly old fart lying on the pavement!! LOL!

Super... well worth the kids disowning you... :biggrin:

Might trim a bit from the bottom (not too much mind, I like mush) just to give a little bit more of a pano feel.

An oft overlooked bird...

Splendid shot Phil, normally I'm not that keen on the "mush" but this works well, cracking bird too.

I like this the way it is - it shows the detail in the plumage really well :toast:

I wouldn't care of the humiliation if I captured this photo :wink:
I'd have loved to have taken this, it's a superb shot all of the foreground, eye level and background :smile:

Beautiful detail and colours in the bird, I like the 'mush' well done :wink: :wavey:

I too join the many in saying how nice this image is but I think it feels a little to central for my own personal tastes. Some superb detail and a great POV and use of 'mush'.. Nice work.

I am a mush lover :biggrin: and it works so well here. The detail in the bird is wonderful, like it very much.
