Thank you all for your kind remarks.
I really enjoy noticing, recording & then sharing all the beautiful small things around us.

Roger.

DOH!
Sorry, I don't seem to have my correct set of eyes in!



Roger.

Thanks for the constructive crit., Alan.

Mk.II no.3, any better? The oof areas have gone a bit "grainy", but I rather like that, in this context!

Good set, Jon.

First one's my favourite, with the tulip tree backgound.

No. 2......? I thought it was only me that posted images with noisy bg.
most of us have probably seen one but thought it was a song thrush.

Given the present equipment, any advice, criticism, etc., most welcome.

Roger

Agree with Davex, above.

Heron 2 is a really good, in-its-environment shot.

The kingfisher is really good too.
The lines of the lower two branches lead up to the bird, then the eye follows the blue & orange curve back down the next branch & back around.
Good composition, to my eye.
Therefore, crop some of the top (third)(?), leaving himself on a thirds point as well!

Thanks for letting us see.


Roger.

Some images taken this afternoon in woodland edge, Longleat Forest.

Any comments or criticisms you may have are very welcome, as ever.


Roger.

Thanks, Mat, for a post full of memories for a Kingston lad from a long time ago.

No. 3 summons up the quintessential view of Isabella for me.

And the duck is superb. Crisp, colourful & v. good use of the vignette.

Thankyou,

Roger.
