A delightful shot of an iconic species. Perhaps the bottom LHC could be sorted out, it draws my eye somewhat.

Although the background is nice and uniform I don't think it adds much to the image so I would crop some from top and right to give a more powerful portrait. Very well caught. :toast:

Very smart and I agree with Robert on the cropping :wink:

very nice Kim, one of my favourite birds. Nice to see the yellow gorse against the blue sky as well. A slightly tighter crop would improve it further for me, assuming it's not cropped too much already.

Hi Kim, can only echo the comments re cropping, however the OOF object in the bottom LHC is slightly distracting. If you crop it the image might get too unbalanced.
