Well, I've got to stick up for these guys. They're a bit ordinary in
appearance but 'ugly'? No way!!
I've got a bit of grudging respect for them -

Actually, I think that bird looks quite interesting (not ugly) and the lighting
and shot are pretty cool.

Anyway - the first version is at the

Hi Jens
Thanks for the comment.
Yes, others have made a similar comment. The funny thing is that I
cropped a bit off the top to balance the amount of space at the
bottom. I should have left well enough alone.

Well spotted! I'll have to practise my image editing - there are

Very nice. I agree that the image is a little tight and needs more
background area. The highlights do not bother me at all. Usually the
problem I have with bird images is not being close enough. I'd love to have
this problem.

Thanks - actually a summary of the details can be seen by clicking the
