Hi Billy. It looks as ifits been under the hair drier . I like the way we can see the wing feathers. You have taken this with good detail and bright colours. well done TFs.

Jane posted one today which was a smaller bird but equally ruffed up. This one does look like it it plumping but Janes was blowing in the wind:-) Very nicely done!

Hi Billy,
some nice details in the feathers here, and superb DOF that has given you a really nice background. Lighting is well handled too.
