Hi Guys,

Just a Buzzard i came across the other day..
Not sure about the barbed wire but think it works well for composition purposes.

greetings,

I rather like the vintage wire - sets the scene and gives the bird a good sense of place. Great pose and comp too

I think it works with the barb wire - its more than just a post with the wire in! Nice BG and nice subject.

I'm envious! Just back after trying for these and no luck for the umpteenth time. The wire is great! Lovely composition, maybe a little tight on the right and top.

Works for me! The barbed wire completes the image!

Image looks good to me too, re the comp, I'm with Ian, just needs a little more room around the Buzzard.
