Hi all,i have been after one of these elusive little birds for some time,today i spent four hours trying to get just one shot,these little fellows do not sit still for a split second,the lighting was very poor and it was peeing down this afternoon,
hope you like it,regards,john.

You are not kidding Dave,the size alone makes it hard,then you have the issue of the fact they do not stay still for a micro second,i like the challenge though,
cheers Dave.
 
Hey John,
Just my opinion mate but that poo/algae stained tree stump doesn't really add anything to the scene and is actually detrimental because the white stain draws the observers attention away from the rest of the subject. I'd crop it all out, right down to the bird's toes mate. I suppose you could use the clone tool or some other dodge/burn technique.

Cheers,
 
Hi Clive,hope your well mate,i personally think the poo adds realism/natural perspective to the shot,may not be to everyones taste then that what makes us all different,
thanks for looking Clive,
regards,
John.
