It is beautiful Keith, lovely pose and excellent detail, the background shades are the perfect setting. :toast:

Just a little more space on top, if you have it, otherwise a lovely shot. If you want to avoid the postman you should try around here - normally don't see them until the middle of the day now. Yet another endangered species.

Lovely snipe shot, Keith. The soft muted colours make for a very nice BG :toast:

Hi Keith, a real belter of an image, proves getting out and about pays dividends, lovely BKG. Just watch your shutter speed (SS), you can push the ISO more.

Great portrait of the bird. Comp is a bit square for me and I would like to see more space on the lhs.
