Bully on a twig+brighter
Bullfinch
Managed to get what I went for in the first place just before the Buzzies turned up. Some tidying up done at the bottom where a Hereford had started to eat the hedge, and then looked like it fancied the hide.
Nikon D7000 Nikor 70-300 f4 (cheapo!)
ISO 500 180th sec @f11
70% of full frame.
Levels Paint Shop Pro
Shadow lift image guru.
Cheers
JR
Maybe could do with a bit more "punch " WDYT

Very nice Bullie JR! The large version looks fine to me...you could try a little more contrast but not much I think, the colours are spot on.

Was it a Hereford bull John? Would have been nice to get the two together. A BOAT well up to your usual high standard.

that's lovely John, one of my favourite birds. Maybe a touch more contrast but its not far out.

Hello John.

Beautiful capture and a very nice pose.

I think the first image does need a little lightening but not much and find the second one to light.
