Stonechat (female) portrait
From a very chilly Rainham a few days ago.

I like this.
One very minor nit - the small dark blob draws my eye a bit. No big deal though.

Maybe a slightly tighter crop for me, still a very fine portrait.

I agree with John about the small dark blob, but otherwise a lovely image with a very nice composition. :smile:

I agree with JR but otherwise this is a lovely, almost moody and atmospheric portrait

Sweet shot Graham - might just take that dark spot on the BG in front of the bird down a bit...

Great - especially the detail and colour in the bird.

Hello Graham.

Lovely shot and it works really well for me with he snow in the background making foe a nice back drop which make the colour of the bird really stand out.
