Detailed to perfection, Richard with terrific plumage colours, textures and iridescence and fine eye. I love the the ruffled feathers and that to-die-for background.

She looks a bit cross at having her feathers ruffled but it's made a first class capture for you.

I always carry a piece of 6x6 MDF painted pink Ade and get Ron to hold it behind the bird Wink
Seriously is a reedbed about 100m away that was dieing back.

Stunning, have my award.


Have mentioned it before but I seem to know when one of your shots was taken with your old 40D, it has a clarity and quality that I don't always find with the 7D stuff.
