The Pikers Pit

This is gonna be mega hard to beat...

Nice but you will beat it for sure.

Is that chibbled peanuts I can see on the top of the post?

didnt ever notice that, i just picked it up and placed it how i liked it..

Detail is stunning for a moving subject!!

Great shot

Very Nice.

Very cool shot

I like the shadow of it's foot on the rear wing, but I'm sure you'll get better pics.

Experience has taught me to always look at reflections, baits, restricted zones, applied heat or cold, etc, etc.
No offence, setting up a subject is all part of the skill.

as per norm

Awesome shot!

The shadow of the foot and the slight blur on the wingtips makes it for me

Beautiful shot Dave, keep them coming.

Will.

Very nice Dave, I bet you do get better.

cheers guys..... not sure what the BETTER shot will be, but always working on it

That's a corking shot Dave!

If you baited the perch to draw the bird in it is of no significance to me. I don't think a picture like that is intended as a record of a nature moment. I think pictures like your's are a pre-considered attempt to artistically capture an aspect of a natural subject, to create a dynamic and compelling image, and you've nailed it! it's a masterpiece. I'd be chuffed to bits to have taken that.

(I'd also be wishing the wing had been a fraction lower to better showcase that striking head and colourful plumage, but I'm never 100% happy with any of my pictures. )

Stunning shot

Looks amazing to me! I do miss having a nice camera and lens. Would love another SLR to photograph some of the reptiles I go looking at every year.
