Nice shot, good detail but find the OOF leaf a bit distracting, :toast: :toast:

I like it. In this instance I think I prefer the inclusion of the stinging nettle leaves rather than just having a plain backdrop.

Lovely detail in the Sparrow Robert but agree with Shaun regarding the large OOF nettle. I do find it pulling my eye from the Sparrow. A pair of seceteurs should do the trick :biggrin: :wink:

Hi Robert

Looks like your new hide is productive. Like Justin, I like the inclusion of the OoF leaf - it adds a more naturalistic feel.

Cheers,
Chris

The sparrow is beautifully detailed, and I really like the perch and background. Can't decide on the oof leaf would have to see it without to make my mind up.
