@jack4john haha i almost walked past these, there was a pair of them sitting on the driftwood, I am sure birds sense you looking at them, so not looking at them while you gain a good position is essential, also a long zoom, they definitely have a personal space/ comfort zone.
Hope you don't mind if I say this, but do you use PS for processing. You might have been able to get rid of the out of focus branch it was a little distracting. But others would say no. So just wondering.
@kali66 Like I said some people think you should leave things alone. I think it is to each his own. But thank you for not taking offense that I asked. I have had the reaction before.
