Beautiful late afternoon lighting yesterday at Wakehurst. 90% crop, not sure about the composition but trying to keep as much of the reflected leaves without losing room on the left. :confused:

Lovely image.

Although it seems a shame to loose some of those amazing autumnal colours I think I'd favour a crop loosing a little top and right.

What a well captured image and great use of the prevailing light.

A great capture with some lovely colours :smile:
Comp could be better though.

Agree with Geoff about the composition but lovely autumnal colours. :wavey:

Agree with the above, may have sacrificed a slightly smaller bird to include more of the autumn colour. :toast:

It is a shame that the shot was not taken a second or so earlier, then the head would also have been against that great background colour. Very nice picture all the same.
