Hi Phil, would like perhaps to see less on the lhs and more to the rhs and slightly more below. The rain captures the moment & conditions well. Nice detail and colour, but it looks like a little halo is appearing towards the tail end feathers, not quite sure at this size?

If you can't go you wll get your money back if you are going with the right guy. :smile:

I agree with Craig I love the way it is looking at its young, as though he is shielding him from the rain, which does add so much to the image I love it

A tender image and great atmosphere. I'd love that shot- it's superb imo. It's very, very hard to instil emotion into a bird shot, I can't remember one that made me feel all gloopy before. That's a real result.

Cracking shot, really love the feel to this shot. The left hand side doesn't bother me.
