I like the first one. Getting them to look in your direction is always nice. Have you done any PP on this shot?

Thanks Phoenix A hell of a lot of PP on this shot !!!! Was taken for identification purposes, so I was walking up the track taking shots as I went, as the bird really was skitty and kept flying off to the next tree...... this is the original unmodified shot, and as you can see, it was crap hence the title of the post - best I could do

That's quite a crop that's for sure. But well worth it. I really like bird shots, but it's so hard to get them right. Nice work
