Nice shot of my one of the favorite birds with very nice lean composition. TFS.

Welcome to NPN and the Avian Gallery.

This is a strong way to start - an interesting subject; excellent detail, nice color. You might want to go slightly brighter.

I look forward to more of your images and I hope you will share your skills by commenting on other people's images.

Nice one David - great detail. I agree with Richard about possibly increasing the brightness

Dave, that is a terrific capture with great colours and detail.
My only slight niggle is with the composition. - I think there is too much empty space in the bottom RH corner and, if it was possible, would shift the subject down and to the right so that there was a bit more space above. :toast:

Great species, on a nice perch against a pleasant BG - what more could you ask for ? Well done ! Hans
