Very big in the frame but the trade off is cracking detail, look at his little short trousers, sweet:toast: :toast: :toast: :toast:

Crikey Phil, were you trying to nick it's Christmas money or something - WOW that's close!

A little big in the frame for me, but they are smart little birds and this big you can easily see just how smart :toast: :toast:

Hi Andy & Phil it was bigger in the frame so I added some to the RHS it came down to 3 feet at times this was taken at my 600 M.F.D.

They can be very confiding at times (and very skittish at others). I agree with Andy that it is a little large in the frame, but you have made a good job of adding canvas on the right hand side.

Tis BIF but what detail! Darn nuisance when they get too close! :biggrin:

Great detail where its sharp Phil. Without the 1.4 maybe the wings and tail would have been a bit sharper. Never mind..
Not seen one for years.

BIF is no problem, especially the large version. Superb detail in there. :toast: :toast: :toast:

I imagine it would have flown if you had whipped the TC off Phil. Cracking detail though :wink:

I like them big in frame, and such detail.
