Elegant pose

Its a very interesting shot this and one which I like a lot, except for the crop. Its a shame there wasn't more space at the bottom allowing room for the bird to look into . Blinding capture though very interesting.

this one made me smile Maggie well caught

Well captured Maggie
What an unusual pose, looks painful.
Well done.

Great pose and a well planned image. As Mark suggests, if you get the chance of another attempt leaving more room below would strengthen the composition. The only other improvement would be a slight head turn so more of the bird's face is on show as it looks down - but that bit is down to luck and a fast shutter-finger though.

Like it the idea, cheers,
Chris

Hi Maggie, really nice image, very different from the norm, which makes it stand out.
Agree with the comments on the format, it would strengthen the composition.
i lke the way its framed by the branches too.

Hello Maggie.

Nits covered but I do love the pose you have captured, and more than makes up for the crop for me.

Really like this image Maggie, a common bird in an unusual pose. Excellent!!

Very well spotted, you and the starling.
