Tis a fine capture , BG ...a touch of noise to be removed .No techs, as Steve says, makes it difficult to assess .

Excellent image! Love the perspective and the fact he is calling. Maybe a little more space around him?

Brilliant - I can almost hear the call. I agree with Ian about the extra space though.

Nice shot. They are difficult to catch. Or it must be from a great distance.

This is excellent. I admire your field craft getting close this guy.

Tight in the frame doesn't bother me, when there's this much detail on show.

An image to be proud off :toast: :toast: :toast:

Like this a lot, agree with above de-noising a little will improve an already good image.
