    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.

    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.

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