Never seen one of these! Those legs and beak blend well with the lichen on the rocks! Nice image,
Paul. :wavey:

Love the composition, lighting and detail, perhaps a wee crop off the top. :wavey:

NIce shot
I think more space on the left would improve it a lot. Maybe a landscape shot ?
Cheers

Hi Phil

Love the light and lichen covered rock - I also would like to have seen more space on the left, less on top and more below where the bird is looking!

Just a little central for my tastes, but a good shot of the bird in its environment. :toast:

My first thought was that with all that space on top it would make a great front cover, with plenty of room for logos/titles. However I do agree that it needs a bit more space on the left.

I like this very much, Purple sand never seem easy to get - they are so often foound in the most awkward places. This is lovely with great detail :toast:

Looks good to me Phil, I also wish for a landscape version but like the comp as presented too!

Hi Phil,

lovely shot of a bird I have never seen, nice and sharp with lovely colour. I would prefer a bit more room on the left too.

Nice stuff.

Really like the over all colouration on this one Philliph and some good light to make it.
