Thanks JR, there is a half a foot just showing but yes it does leave a slightly incomplete bird and I totally agree with your comment. :wink:

Looks good enough to me. Great shot of one of my favourite birds.

Hi Nick, the colour balance looks better on this one, agree on the lost feet though. Curious why you were shooting at -1.67 comp and with a SS of 1/60, cranking up the ISO would have eased things a bit more with not too much IQ loss, if any.

Very nicely done, Nick. This is a species I have yet to photograph and one I would love to have on file.

Did not notice the feet at first but still a smart image. I like the log and the BG :wink:

Lovely warm shot of this Thrush.
The little droplets on it's back make this one really good!

greetings,
