Cracking shot Martin with such an appropriate perch, very well planed and shot. My criticism is about the BG, its so stark and bright it looks almost like a studio. I'm not suggesting it is for a moment, but it has that feel about it, I wonder of you could tone down the BG slightly to give a more natural look. Apart from that I really like this picture (y)

Thanks Trev. I wish I did have a Kingy studio, no muddy stinky lakes. No mossies, no dog walkers or cows startling the birds.
I like the background as it is on this one and its what I was trying to capture, to contrast against the bird. This is the exact colour pallet I had in mind.

It needs to be bright because its for a poster in a local fishing tackle shop.

Thanks Kaz. I was smiling from the moment I pressed the shutter button to the moment I saw it on my computer screen.

Thanks for the comments eveyone.:)
 
Very good indeed Martin :LOL: The fact the eye is looking down to the right hand corner would imo warrant catching a tiddler with that rod, take a picure of the fish on the line and then marry the two rod ends up.

Bought a smile to my face! Nicely setup, all he is missing is a fish.

Thanks. If only,the rod is to thin for him to bash the fish on so he always flies across the lake to his favorite tree.

How did you plan a shot like that?

Years of planning, involving a team of thousands and a budget of millions.

No really all I did was swap the normal perch for a rod and 5 minuets later, Job done.
 
cracker of a shot- and what a good idea, the fishing rod is truly inspirational

I love it :D

Les :clap::clap:
