like the colouring in the darter shot, although I would have preferred a landscape version.
the spoonbill doesnt do anything for me.

great shots......... but brighten up the background with saturation and up the contrast a tad, then the shots will have some jump.........

Rel:
the crop of the darter is exactly the crop I had in mind.
I think that makes this a much stronger shot.
The only real nit now is that the bird is looking out of the frame rather than into it, but nothing can be done about that.

Thanks everyone - it is certainly a more colourful and interesting shot now, thanks to you

Increased contrast, saturation, and the birds head turned to look into the frame (specially for Steve

)

for Lab Colour how and tips etc you will have to do some research as it cannot be done in simple words or prases, there is plenty of info on the net, but you will have to get the book......
