Thought I would have another go at this location after advice on my last post, so managed to get a slightly better position and made the perch less dominant (perches seem in vogue at the moment!). Quite a striking light from the low evening sun (yes, we had sun..), which did pop the bird quite well, at least in the big version!
Thoughts appreciated as always.

Hi Dave
very striking and you had some hard light for sure. Perck looks ok to me but then I,m no judge. Could do with a little tweak on the contast on my gear anyway but no big deal.
Cheers

Yes, you are right John. Certainly looks flat on here compared to the original in LRoom. Cheers.
