Great BG and lighting on this one, Phil. On my first view I was a little unsure about the central comp of the Kingfisher, but the strong diagonal line of the Reed/Rush works well. I might be tempted to allow a little more space on the right hand side if you have it, just a touch mind.

I love the portrait composition, beautiful light and really like the position of the KF Phil, cracking image

Hi Phil,

I like the slight definition in the background "blur". The leading line looks all right. I'm not too keen on centered main subject, but I would still bag it this way, if possible.

Cheers,
Marko
