    You have really nailed this one David,colours and feather detail look spot -on,think this is great as posted but would love to see how it looked with just a little more on the left if you have it,that peeping head is icing on the cake.

    Almost full frame here Keith except that I cropped out some reed stems on far left. Have added canvas left and bottom to balance WDYTN?

    I like the repost of this intimate image, a bit more head turn would help but sharp with good feather detail.
    Well exposed in what looks like strong sunlight.
    Love the little head looking out.

    Hi David. Those GCG's are giving you some great images. Nice detail on the bird and the wee one takes it up a notch. The ones I am watching still haven't hatched

    Thanks for sharing.

    I love the view of the chick. Wish the Mom's head was turned a bit. Sweet photo...

    Another pleasing image David. Original didn't look far off to me. She just got the two off then?
