Unless they're stuffed we have to take what we can get. :wink:

Nice close up of a fluffy one. :toast:

Sort of agree about the perch, but well, they land where they land don't they! :biggrin: It's not that bad really!

The backlit fluffed out feathers are brilliant! Nicely taken and nice clean background too. :toast:

Hello Ian.

Love the backlte coming through the feathers and I like the composition.

I think the light coming through the feathers more than compensates for the perch.

The light coming through the puffed-up feathers is quite magical :cool:

Perch does'nt bother me as the backlighting makes this image for me,lovely,relaxed pose captured and the perch shows how comfortable the KF is in using it :wink: :wink: :wavey:

Great lighting and image overall, slight shame about perch.

I would not have noticed the perch unless you had pointed it out because the backlighting is soooo good. I love the eye detailing too
