Taken on Sunday at RSPB Otmoor, Oxfordshire.

D200, 500mm f/4 P, 1.4x, wide open, 1/500 sec, ISO 160, Manfrotto 055 and 393.
This is a crop to 4 megapixels from the 10. I cloned out a distracting branch (inset).

Hi Ben

Lovely colours a pose. I would prefer a more eye level shot but that is just wishful thinking and difficult to achieve so you have done well here.

Excellent cloning work, I couldn't tell at first glance although now I know it's there I can just make out the faint outline on the twig. But unless told I doubt most people would spot it, nicely done.

cheers

Sean

Very good shot Ben - and the twig is very well cloned out.
