Starlng on the pot

[Stan]

Starlings often congregate on the lobster pots at Mudeford Quay to pick any scraps that may have been left by the fishermen so plenty of shooting opportunities when the light is good.

Before any suggestions the background has been doctored, just to the right of the bird was a yellow blob from one of the buoys which has been cloned

The colours in the plumage are really beautiful when caught in the right light as you have done here.

I can not tell where you have cloned it , so you done a very good job . I can not bring myself to live with cloning it just does not feel right when I try it on my own images , but this is a cracking Starling photo Stan .

thanks guys

apart from anything else, the buoy was a totally different colour to the rest of the background so had to go and as long as it doesnt alter the "story" then no problem although if it were a shot being entered in a nature competition, then of course anything like that would not be allowed.
