superb shot Alan, great composition and detail in the shot, these little guys dont usually ket you get too close so very well captured. Background excellent aswell, compliments the birds colours nicely

Hi Alan, This is lovely! The bird is well exposed and I see good details throughout. I think capturing the image with the prey is a big plus. The simple background really shows off the bird nicely. I really like the perch as I find it's size just right for the bird. In my opinion the yellow-green vegetation adds a lot of interest. I my be over analyzing a bit but, I also like the downward pointing branch of the perch as I think it adds a balance to the the image. Nicely done as usual and thanks for sharing.

By the way I am enjoying your ebook very much.

Superb BG and sharpness

Alan I love the relatively small moss covered perch, the head angle, fish and the BG. It all works for me. I wish that it was mine.

[Mike Godwin]

All works for me too... great stuff Alan!

Lovely composition, perch and posture! I think the bird could do with another round of sharpening?
