Excellent Simon! Really like this one with all the different elements at work. Good elimination of the background really helps the feel of this shot. I feel like I could reach out and touch the bird. The rope and rocks give it a rustic (for lack of better word) look. This is a 10 for me, thanks:-)

Great composition. That bird has a very determined look about him/her...

A great capture for 'birds' gallery, Simon.

Great composition Simon.This was taken by the ocean?Is that a trap or a bench?Any way a great photo.

Thank you all. It is on a beach, Jojo, where people have started piling up the stones for some reason. Mostly they're just stacks of stones but this one has incorporated rope, netting and driftwood in a rather artistic heap..... I like the way the netting adds a splash of colour to the shot.

agree with all the comments... it's a wonderful shot and composition Si ! -10-

Wonderful balance in framing the picture, I agree with maybe on the background. I hope you left some crumbs behind in appreciation for his cooperation!

Fantastic quality and the composition is really good. I like the soft colors and the contrast that the deep blue net makes to it. Wonderful piece!

Thanks Lucy, Witchy and Klas for your kind comments.

i love the blue on the khaki/white. great contrast. a great picture. makes me want to like by the water and it to be summer again. good job.

Maevellous! great shot and agree with Cain and Jim.

i like how the dull colors of the rocks and beach mix with the bright blues of the net. nice composition. good pic!

Thank you all :-)

Nice shot! Great composition and I love the pop of the vivid blue against the more muted colors.
