that's nice Phil and rather comical. Maybe a little less space above the bird?

I think the bird on the right, to whom I imagine it is either threatening or displaying, needs to be in either entirely or not at all. On the assumption that you would have included it all if you had it, it therefore has to go. On the plus side, I do like the attitude of the bird, and the exposure/processing looks bang on to me.

I see where David is coming from and he is right. Still leaves a fine image.

Reminds me of my son-in-law who is a carp and barbel fisherman, it must be in the genes. :biggrin: :wink: Great stuff.

I agree Phil after looking a few times- the right hand bird although an important part of the scen is somewhat distracting.If all of it had been in it would be better. Good stuff though.
