    Jon:

    I think this is pretty funny. Did he actually fly away with this snarl!

    I like the yellow flowers playing with the color on his breast, might tone down the flowers just a bit hwr. Glad the barbed wire is rusty, it makes it look a bit more 'natural'

    Cheers

    Delightful image that tells a story Jonathan.
    Like Randy, I'm glad the barbed wire is rusty.

    I agree, on all the other images I have I have toned down the yellow - this one seems to have been missed.
    What's wrong with the wire in the garden John, I could have waited in the field but folks would be walking by and I would never get the shot! I set this up to replicate a meadow, the yellow is buttercups and marsh marigolds by the garden pond.

    Pretty cool image Jon, looks good and the barbed wire has acted as a good hook for the wool (I assume, not your own hair ). I assume you were not at last weeks AGM?

    Steve there would be very little left for me if that were mine! No I wasn't at the AGM, I have been all over the place taking my son to different universities - he has to make choices soon, he is hoping to become a vet.

    Jon
    I just meant that barbed wire in a garden seemed a bit out of context thats all.

    Very nice behavior shot, Jon. Love the nesting material, the colors of the bird and background.

    Excellent image. I am sure you had horizontal composition b/c of wonderful BG. Nesting material looks quite artistic.
    Love the softness in the frame, Jonathan.
