    Re: Starling

    Cracking shot Stan, love the colours and sharpness on the bird and the background really shows it off.

        Thanks for looking Chris and Doug

        and the background really shows it off
        the lobster pots are a favourite perch for the starlings but unless you move into the right position the background is a white painted cafe but a little further to the right are some trees, so if you can frame with those in the background, the bird looking the right way and the sun behind you lighting the feathers then you can get this sort of shot

                  Good composition Stan, which shows off the plumage very well.

                    thanks Bill and Peter

                    Just noticed the colours of the ropes of the lobster pot match the plumage

                      Re: Starling

                      The iridescence of the feathers of these birds is always difficult to capture and you've done a good job.
