I can see how his feathers and the lavender are delicate but the main feeling I have here is strength and fierce beauty. No matter as it is a great shot! Ann C

Thanks, I was trying to get a photo of this buzzard flying and when I saw it land next to this Lavender, something registered that it would make a good photo, I only had time to get one picture though. I'm pleased with the negative space and direction everything is facing :) . I'll try some PP on the eye.

This really does look very good, excellent shot Maurice. If you know how to do it I would lighten the eye a bit more & maybe you might have to apply a bit of colour saturation after lightening.

This is a great bird portrait. I like the way the grass and the birds turned head gives the image a very distinct direction. Well done.

Great bird portrait. I have a simple-minded fascination with captures like this. The detail is incredible. -tv
