Coming down to drink or bathe.Over weeks have been training this Hazel branch down over the pool, a bit at a time. A lot of stuff now using it as they come in. Bit of a change from doing them in the water.

Hi John,

Great, natural-looking portrait. I just wonder if a little more space below, for the bird to look into, would have helped?

I tend to agree with David here, but lovely to see nonetheless.

The pair at the local site near me wouldn't venture from the bushes at all ......

Thanks both. Yes I agree - bottom of the frame though. Could stretch it a bit but would look odd.
Cheers

Lovely looking image, sharpness and clarity are very good. That pool of yours just keeps giving, John.

Tried it with added canvas but not made a good job. Not sure if its worth doing a proper job.
WDYT.

I think that all depends on what other blackcap images you have, John. I don't have any of an adult male, and I would certainly consider this shot worth the effort. I don't think you have made a bad job as it is.

Both images are great JR and to be honest if you hadn't told me the second post had been added to I don't think i would have known. IMHO it is worth "doing a proper job" as you put it.

Nick.
