Robert i do like the open wings and the puffed out bird,maybe a tad tight at the bottom i think but a very good shot none the less.

Hi Robert, certainly a 'portly' fellow. Good control of the B/W but shame about the slightly cropped foot.

Damn that foot! But otherwise great.

Missed this earlier Rob. Really bright today. Something called sun I think :biggrin: :biggrin:
I reckon a bit more space left (or some off right ) is more important than the feet thingy in my opinion.
You could build some up on the bottom if you've got a free day or two !!

Would prefer more space at the bottom, but lovely shot :toast: :toast:

A bit more space left and below would be good, but otherwise a fine shot.
