Aren't birds frustrating when they do that? As Liam says, a very different image.

Hi Peter
Sorry but this does not quite work for me.
I can see the idea but I am not an "arty" fan

Hi Pete, not my kind of shot. I hope you have ones with the Bird bigger in the frame for all your effort. :toast:

It must be something to do with age Peter but have to agree with John.
Not being disrespectful but what would you do with such an image? I can perhaps see your idea but the subject and the snow it sits on seem to be far too small in frame. I am always looking to learn new ideas though.

Can't make my mind up about this image. Maybe would like to see a little bit more of the head, but not overall bothered. I have been back that many times to look at it I'm not really sure.

Thanks for feedback guys - I knew it would be a Marmite shot. Just trying to look at things from a graphic point of view, perhaps at the expense of literal. It's good to talk.

Very imaginative; great shot. However, would prefer the background to be pure blue sky, without the cloud.

Had to have a chuckle at that, we've all been there I guess. well thought and well captured.
