Certainly shows the bird at its best .Gorgeous BG .A slight slice off right perhaps ?

You have captured the colours very well Dale.

Nice BKGR and nice perch.

I agree with Mark that the RHS space doesn't add much to the image.

Cheers

amazing, they are very underrated. agree with above , slice of the right would compose the bird much better, otherwise spot on.

HI Dale

a very much ignored bird that has fantastic colours when the lights right.

Well caught pose light and background are spot on.

Have to agree about the crop

Nice to see a starling again. Very few round here now.

You are so right Dale, such an under rated bird. The colours in their plumage is stunning, and they are great to watch. A lovely post, I look forward to many more. Well done!
