Excellent POV. The jury's out about the leaf. One part of me says it gives balance to the image as a whole, the other part of me says it is competing with the main subject. Decisions, decisions. :smile: :wink:

I have already removed a Tescos shopping trolly so thought I would leave the leaf in for balance :biggrin: :biggrin:

I'm inclined to agree about the leaf, but not much you could do about it. You've certainly made the best of the composition and it works very well for me.

I like this as it is Ian - the upturned leaf is a natural part of the bird's habitat :toast:
