I like the upward looking pose of the Wheatear and the smooth BG isolates the bird nicely. I think this needs a touch more room at the bottom as it's a little tight down there as presented. Other than that it's a very pleasing image, Ron.

Great shot Ron - agree with Andy about space at the bottom

It is a great pose. Personally I think portrait format would have suited it better, and would also have overcome the problem that Andy and Oscar mention.

Thanks every one for your comments. I have re-posted as a portrait, the fence post in the re-post is all there is. the original is virtually full frame with the bird being 4 metres away

I agree with Andy being slightly tight at the bottom, comp in the first is better than the repost . Nice detail and BG
