Nigel,you may not agree with me,but this is one of the best shots I have seen of yours in the Gallery.It says so much.It is so different from the full face images of birds.simply lovely,thankyou .
 
A remarkable picture - you must be very proud of this one. Just to have watched the scene unfolding must have been joyful, but to have captured the magic on film as well? Perfect.
 
Every part of the entire scene is perfect....and the lighting on the bird is beyond description!!!

Wow. Nigel you have really outdone yourself this time. This is simply the best bird shot I have ever seen. MANY THANKS!
 
NIgel, I must agree with everyone.... this has to rate as one of your all time best. The lighting on the bird is fabulous... he almost glows.
