Very nice Karl. I like the simplicity of this shot. Background is OOF and yet still carries some character. Blacks & whites managed very well - I expect the later day light helped with that.

Beautiful shrike image. I like the calm BG and the soft light. Great exposure and head angle.

Very nice image Karl .. very simple but striking. The background looks very much like an oil painting canvas.
