So it is, though I can't hear it singing. :eek: I'll have to take your word for it, which is good enough for me. :biggrin: :wink:

He's certainly belting it out John and it's a very fine Whitethroat image to boot.

The bird is great, nice and sharp, but for me, the rest of the pic doesn't work. The blurring just looks wrong; heavy handed almost. The tops of a couple of the twigs in the foreground seem to go from being sharp to blurred instantly. Just doesn't seem right.

Sorry.

Posted by Andrew Mason on August 13, 2010 at 12:29 PM
John, I have to agree with Pete on this one. The bird itself is great but overall the picture does not work for me because of the lack of separation with the background.

Thanks again all. Good to see different opinions on a picture.

You have to really blow the picture up to see the real mistakes.
Its called a wobbly senile hand - they,ve been around a bit Your brain says go left and the hand can't hear you. The pic for publication is of course much more carefully done.:biggrin: :smile:
