Nice eye contact on both Gordon.  On my screen, you could brighten the first one a little...john

Thanks John.

funny you say that on your screen, you could brighten the first one a little, as Jan says that pictures appear darker on my screen than hers.........

Nice pose on the last one but a shame the branch is in front of her beak. Also - there seems to be some CA around the same branch.  I'm assuming the image may have been (partly) backlit which is always difficult.

Nice poses Gordon.

You could clone out the twig on the thrush photo.
