Creepy. I get these birds on the roof opposite my office window and their eyes creep me out. Very dramatic.

Good start to your 52 Susie, a great natural history shot. I'm with @Harlequin565 Ian on this, those eyes are freaky

Apart from using my phone I’ve not done anything much since my last 52 a couple of years ago so it’s been a bit of a challenge to get around to being a bit more creative. One of my favourites was always dark backgrounds so I thought I’d plunge straight in.

As I have found, photographing strawberries is not as easy as it looks as my own has shiny highlights that I don't like. I feel this is underexposed by too much as the plate looks grubby and I suspect it is actually white. Lightroom it up a bit and it'll be lovely.

Thanks Allan I did wonder about a floaty look, I though maybe using the dish would ground it a bit rather have than floaty strawberries, maybe I should have cropped more to oblong than square and lost some off the bottom.
Thank you for looking in, I don’t have Lightroom or any editing programme apart from the basics on my iPad. I think dark shots are always subject a bit to whatever they’re being view on, I tried this one on my OH Samsung tablet and it looks a lot lighter and brighter on my iPad, so a bit awkward to find a balance.
Thank you for looking, much appreciated.
Much appreciate you looking in Tom, thank you.
