Really nice shots, Wallace. I especially like the second image with the birds head cocked.

Thanks Mike, just messing around with my old camera and this guy really wanted his picture taken. ;-)a

The colours of the vegetation make for a very interesting effect.

Unknown LBJ in Andalucia. The heavy shadowing doesn't help, but any suggestions as to ID will be much appreciated, please. Could it be a Bonelli's Warbler?
Many thanks.

Edit : Well, I have been given an ID by Birdguides and, disappointingly, it's only a Common Chiffchaff. Didn't need to go all that way for one of those!

Wonderful! I wonder how you achieved this light, low saturation, artistic look?

Thank you all! I think it was just the fact that day was cloudy so the light was diffused and complimented the scene. There is minimal processing, just some sharpening and a slight toning down of the highlights. I only have DPP and my processing is limited so this is almost SOOC.

That's an amazing shot Steve. With all the mallards I've seen over the years, this one is a first for me. Congratulations on such an unusual find...excellent shot.
