Afternoon all! Not been very well, so didn't get to post yesterday. Still not able to sit at the PC for long, so apologies for not replying to many photos - I am still trying to look at them when I get time.

Thanks for all the comments on the last upload, this one is a bit different. Took this back when I first got my first DSLR - and it's not brilliant. I've had a play around with it - and I still love this shot, despite the seriously blown highlights. You can see on the chest where I've edited (I'm not good with photoshop) and I can't tell whether the edited version is better or not!

Hope everyone's having a better day than me, with feeling ill and the weather being horrendous!

Thank you! *blush*

I had already uploaded it back in 2009, but I don't know which is better. I'm sort of considering deleting this, as two basically identical images seems a bit silly :/ I think I prefer composition in this one, as I cropped it differently. I dunno!

This is absolutely gorgeous Laura. What a wonderful job you did here. I am sick too and have hardly any energy. Trying to catch up. This is my favourite so far a super duper job.

Never easy at the best of times Laura.Keen eye required and quick finger,very well spotted and captured...

You are right about the exposure issues - but it is still a most endearing image of the little chap lurking in the foliage!

Looks new to me didnt see the old one. Like the way it nestles in amongst the pines. Great setting for the Goldcrest. Nice one!!! Paul

Hi Laura
Another lovely bird image - you're good at these, aren't you? Grin.
Like Pete and TrevB I heard via Canadiann that you were in hospital and just wanted you to know that I'm thinking of you and praying for a speedy recovery.
Take care, hope to see some more of your bird shots here before very long.

Hi Laura. I've just been on Ann's portfolio and read that you are in hospital. I hope you are feeling a little better and wish you a speedy recovery.
I nearly forgot to mention your image, it's lovely, well caught.
Best wishes.
Pete.
