Well Apologies, i desperately wanted to post an inflight shot. Indeed i thought i had a couple ... but well chance and circumstance and a lack of skill conspired against me as they always seem to do ... :frown:

Hopefully will get it right another time...

But i took this right, i love a portrait and love this one, hope you enjoy ...

taken on Bob's Farm ...

Full frame and thats all the techs you will get!

As ever all C&C welcome

Great looking image, Phil. The complimenting colours all work well and make for a very pleasing image, the large version looks very good.

It isn't that easy is it Phil......but then in the light that was available, you're asking your auto focus to do a lot. Nice pose for you though :toast:

What a stunning image Phil......quirky perch, pose, comp and BG colours all go to make a top class image. I do miss these little fellows.
