I like that, some may say it needs a tighter crop - its just a nice picture, only comment pity you cut off the tops of the reeds on the left.

Re: Stonechat in the reeds

Thank you Trev. I did get another similar image, albeit a little further away, where I got the tops of the reeds in. I am not sure that the reeds were quite as sharp though.

Re: Stonechat in the reeds

perhaps a square crop cutting off some from the bottom and sides might help .we used to be able to do that on flickr I'll have a look see if I still can.


YEP you can go to flickr and float your mouse over your pic

Very cool! I didn't know you could do that, Jeff.

Re: Stonechat in the reeds

the stonechat is rather too small in the frame even for an "environment shot" but it does make an attractive landscape

Bottom of the page find “tag” we used to use it a lot to point out items on each other’s pics ,one of the things that got pushed into hidden by the various improvements ? Over the years

The second is a big improvement on the first which looks a tad over sharpened and a bit noisy, esp on Flickr.

I'm still not sure how you did that! The "tag" option just allows me to tag the photo with a word or phrase.
