Lovely image Guy, the background really makes the image. Proves that you can get great images from common subjects.

One of the best BB shots I've seen in many a while Guido - bags of detail and that BG is something else :toast:

Did yesterday go as you thought :frown: :eek:

that's very nice Guy, the background sets the bird off perfectly. I agree with Liam, this shot shows we shouldn't overlook the more common species.

Happy new year :toast:

Hi Guy - the clarity and sharpness you manage at the shutter speeds you use never ceases to amaze me. Lovely shot :toast: :toast:

Gorgeous lighting and detail in the 'blacks' and all against a wonderful background.

Indeed this is very nice... only minor thing and this is probably down to compression (or I need to recalibrate this monitor) the beak is very slightly getting lost in the bg, but I think all will be fine on the full res version...

A very fine image Guy! And as said, a superb b/g.
