Worth the wait with bells on Paul!!!

Assuming you have space on the original frame, i think a slightly less enlarged view of the bird would improve the screen image for me, unless there is to much clutter of course.

Great view of this bird, and great reward for your patience :toast:

A great image of this elusive bird in the open, well done, I think the PP needs to be looked at here as the image has a somewhat over processed look to it, plus I agree with Alan that a bit more room around would be nice.

Well worth it, you must be super chuffed, as said needs some TLC and space.
Great stuff, I know the feeling about work so well.

Hello Paul
Certainly worth the wait, I agree with the other guys about the size in the frame.
Best wishes

Hi Paul

You certainly nailed this one, what a pose. I do agree re a little tight in the frame and PP - still a great shot!

Hi Paul

An excellent shot of this elusive bird. Worth the perserverence. I agree a bit more space would be nice but not essential, it works quite well as it is. I like the pose of the bird.

cheers
