that's a beauty Andy. If I was to be very fussy I'd say the OOF foreground distracts slightly but otherwise perfect.

Nicely handled Andy, but agree with Matt re OOF FG, if you have applied any NR then leave it, let the natural detail come through.

Nicely composed, great background, and the OOF foreground is a great spot to put your name! :biggrin:

Superb Andy - agree to an extent about the oof foreground but, to be honest, it doesn't really detract from a great image.

Glorious lighting on this one Andy and it puts the image on another level. The background really compliments the bird. :toast:
