Terrific detail which really shows up in the larger version.
A first class wildlife image.

Thats one hell of a shot, John. The colour palette on this is just gorgeous and the fine feather detail is excellent.

Top drawer image, and one of your best if you ask me :toast:

Thanks peeps .
Funny how sometimes thigs just pop up and when you look at them later they look nice.
No planning or anything. I miss a lot by doing Alphapuzzles in the hide when things are quiet though!! :biggrin:
Cheers

The depth of field is to perfection, and the warm colours in the background lift the whole image.
