This is one from my hide at the loch, captured this morning. I really liked the upside down pose the bird gave me, as he was searching for insects, I would have liked a slightly better HA, but I only got the one shot, before the bird flew. I was happy with this one.

Very cool pose.
I agree with you about the HA but would be happy to have this in my portfolio.
The comp seems a bit off to me. I would take some off the bottom.
The detail on the bird is excellent.

Nice feather details on the bird and I think the comp works but it takes a while to get used to it since the bird is upside down. You did a good job with the catch light.

I, too, would be happy with this one. Great pose, nice detail on the bird.

Excellent frame William. I'm always amazed at what swivel-heads birds have. I wish my neck could do that. IQ is superb and you've handled the tones and colours brilliantly. Background is perfect and the comp works for me. Thanks for sharing.

Sweet little bird, hanging upside down defying gravity. Feather detail, colors, background, all look great. Thank you for sharing, Will.
