A very nice image of the Knot. Like the lighting on the front of the bird. The blue BG and seaweed "perch" makes for a very nice image. The fish? I have no idea but he looks a bit miserable

Cheers guys, pleased you like the Knot shot, I too liked the lighting on the face and breast.
Thanks for suggestions on the fish too, I have just looked for it on the web, it is a Bream, but it turns out to be a Ray's Bream ( Brama brama )
Many thanks
Andy...

Beautiful shot of the bird.
If you had enough prior to the crop, I'd like to see a little more space above the bird, but I really am digging deep for crits. Just a thought.
Nice to see a knot on its own for a change, not following the crowd. gOOD LIGHT TOO
Different Andy

Really very nice shot Andy and very well seen and executed. I find that my eye is drawn to the very dark weed on the middle RHS of the image but without patching or cloning I'm not sure what could have been done. So with that i mind I will just accept it for the natural and great looking image that it is.

Lovely lighting on the Knot - hope you didn't eat the fish though as it looks a bit past it's sell by!!

A bit late commenting here sorry. But a super image of the Knot, I like the way the lighting falls across it's face and breast, very nice indeed.
