I posted the wrong .jpeg, and as I don't seem to be able to delete the original post, here is the correct version.

Hi Graham, position and crop works well here, but perhaps a fraction more foreground? Good to get catchlight in the eye, guess he knew you were there. In this instance I might be tempted to lose the distracting grasses lhs, but good to see in situ, with good 'mush'. The hint of sky breaks the BG well.

Exif data? Anywhere else and it would be the naughty step for you :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

Super shot Graham love the colours and the way it gradually blends down to a very soft grass,

Lovely image - I agree with the comment about a little more foreground, this would accommodate the virtual feet. A successful shot.

Cheers,
Chris

Nit covered -a very nice image, The mush works well here blending into the background and making the bird stand out

Great bird and backdrop - it's just the foreground that spoils it for me. Sorry :rolleyes:

I like this, lovely low PoV, it just needs more space at the bottom for the 'virtual' feet!
