Well, John! A creative & great image of a bird... with a difference. & what a difference! At the heart of this is a very good, sharp image of this male chaffinch. But then to have the courage to apply a vignette ... Superb, dramatic result! Thankyou. Roger.

Andrew, a grand image of a man calm & contented, in that his skills, by now, come so naturally that he has time (& soul) just to notice what's going on around him. Including visitors! Well taken. Roger.

Wow, Steve! None of the ones I've seen have been thus endowed! This looks to be the same in other respects, colour, pattern, hairs, eyes, etc. Do you think it could be a male/female thing? Easier to look at rotated 90 left? Roger. Edit: Thought... could it be that they're usually folded-up in front of its "face", except when actually hunting/attacking?

A great image. Wonderful colours. Get it on the wall. Big! Roger.

Grand image of great birds, one of my favourites. But..... What's the ring round the neck of the one on the left? Coker.

Great capture, Steve! Agree with your comment re getting the shot. That's what makes it so fascinating, though, isn't it? Just noticing creatures around us & accepting the challenge to capture their image, to show the wonder of them & share that wonder with others. Roger.

Lovely! Just captures the character of the bird. Hands up all those who've seen a whitethroat in this detail before? And so, pianoman, thanks for letting us see! :shock: :D:D:D:D:D Roger.

Stuart, lovely greens & composition.... as far as it goes. I feel some foreground interest is required, somehow. A boat? A swan? As it is this leaves the eye wandering about, looking for something "happening". Roger.

It's the Green Man!! Very clever & very strong image. Coker.

Great composition & lovely little bird! It does have a very white throat, doesn't it.......? Roger.
