thanks andy..its my cousin ralph..:)
doing just the tops of those two grasses would do...but as it is its ok
good eye contact
so you know when my wife was videoing a leopard in a tree it kept looking at here when she pressed the on button...can they see or hear the infra red focussing beams...if there are any?

Hi Andy,
Your first bird shot here is an excellent one. The exposure looks to be spot on. Colors are beautiful and detail is very good in the plumage. Composition and framing/crop look great to me. I am glad you left the grass. I think it adds to the overall shot.

Hi Andy!

Rare bird in my neighbourhood. In Poland this bird is [together with owl] symbol of wisdom. And it looks wise on your photo. Great portrait.

Hello Andy,
I think this is really good shot. You managed to capture him in a very nice pose and you got some great details on the black feathers, what as far as I heard, isn't that easy. I like the grass in BG, it's not distracting and even adds a bit to the photo.
So overall, it's a great picture as for debut in a birds photography.
VERY WELL DONE!

Hi Andy
Thanks for introducing me to this bird.
The composition & POV is good and it seems like you did some excellent cloning with the bramble. Fortunately you left the grass as (IMO) it adds value to the photo.
The colours are great and you managed to get a very nice sheen on the bird’s feathers. Exposure and lighting levels are good and it shows the details of the black feathers very well. Normally the colours and details on black is a bit of a bugger.
Very well done and TFS.
Regards
Loot

Andy, a great debut. Welcome to the bird club.

I like composition and pov, even knowing this was taken from your car.

I like exposure too. Maybe, I'd try to add a little bit more of sharpness, but it's just an opinion.

simpel and beautiful.
I might have cropped out the two herbs that reach its belly. Not sure. Also good to show reality as it is.
