I've not been that active on the forum of late, struggling with a bit of a backlog but I managed to get out yesterday after a fresh snowfall and if nothing else this made me smile.
Many things could have been improved, position of the robin etc but I still quite like it! C&C's welcome as always

Great action image - it's rare to get them exactly where you want them, but I would be happy with this!

A very interesting behavioural image. You can't position the birds where you would like them to be, but I do think you could improve this shot by tweaking the levels a little to make the birds stand out more.

What is it with you and birds arses, your does your wife know about your fetish.
Very nice shot for one so tall, don't know how you get so low.
Thanks for your comments. I decided not to comment on the thread again simply because I felt that the thread had reached a natural conclusion with a lot of well considered points eloquently made (not by me I hasten to add, I just like to bang a drum from the top of my soap box!!). As for the 'name and shame', tempted but Tom W is a big fella and I quite like being part of this forum
Thanks for taking the time to comment

Thanks for your reply Andy,and know matter how big Tom is,the real issue is the subject and its welfare, has it been forced into doing something,caught and placed on the 'prop' of choice,cannot freely move away,stunned/delayed in its escape?? all to obtain the image the photographer wishes to gain praise/credit from, then this should be exposed,I have spoken to Tom last year ref a forum members images and credit where credit is due he said he was aware of the said images.Very intresting and good points raised ,with some massive words But it comes down to 'Integrity' as mentioned,from what ever your level,and background you come from.
No problem, I posted it on 02/17 at 4.46pm and it is titled BBC Wildlife magazine request. Alternatively just click on my name and you'll find it that way.

Well done you Welsh giant.

I was reading the comments for your image and I was wondering if there is a link you could give me for the post Craig is talking about.
