Always 'Verticals' Craig my favorite angle,just loved the space on the first one,make sure you get your sun cream/mosquito net/sprays

They are gorgeous, wonderful colour in the background and the setting is lovely. Can't make my mind up which I like best - maybe the first as the bird is a little bigger..... on second looks I love the setting on the second...
Hey Craig
The first is a decent enough image but there is something about it that seems a little stark and sterile though I like the idea. The second shot however is spot on as it shows the 'chat is his habitat and there is a subtle V shape in the grass that balances the image nicely.
Cheers

Hello Craig.
Not to keen on the first one but the second one is really good, and love the feel of the enviroment you have captured.

Thank you for your comments much appreciated Andy I like the way you worded your comment on the second post and made sense of what I saw in my head at the time (composition etc) Cheers

Theres a bit more going on and the bird doesnt look quite so lost.
Lovely BG complimenting the bird.
Major.
Like both of them but prefer the second one!
Well done!
