Hi

Overall a really splendid image that has been well executed, has nice lighting and look pretty good to the eye

I like it

Being hyper critical - I'd wonder if the subject could have been slightly more paralleled to the film place to maximise the sharpness available within the DOF range. Maybe I am wrong upon this point though lol

Either way an image anyone would enjoy in their files

All the best
Matthew

Hi Matthew,
Many thanks for the helpful comment.
Beleive me I tried to get parallel with the skittish blighter, but the slightest movement on my part would cause him to jump, and they can cover distance when they do..
I was on my hands and knees trying to capture the image, much to the amusement of passing walkers who had no idea what I was trying to photograph.

Regards ,

Edward

Hi

I know that feeling of trying to parallel a subject - remember one shy chap that regardless of my approach just twisted round to hide behind the perch stem lol

All the best
Matthew
