    This is a new bird for me. Was this photographed in Alaska or Canada? Your exposure is spot on, with fine details and colors. Very nice capture.

    Thank you Marina, this was shot on my local patch here in the South of England, they are a Summer visitor to the UK, flying back to central Africa for the Winter.

    I think a slightly lower angle would have been good here to throw the BG even more OOF and to bring a bit more of the greenery up from the bottom. Still a very nice image here with a nice profile pose, perfect exposure, and lots of good detail.

    Thanks Dan & Dan, unfortunately the long grass put a stop to getting any lower.
