I was at a wedding at the weekend and this guy had this bird perched on his hand. The light looked wicked so I grabbed a snap before it flew off.

That is a wonderful capture. Just fantastic!! bw!

I rarely suggest this but if this were mine, I'd move the watermark more into the image where it couldn't be so easily removed as it can down where it is here, in the black area.

Thanks for the comment mate. It's a very low res version and pretty much un-usable apart from the net ;)

"The Net" is the medium I'd be most worried about... ;)

Then the net is worthless. It's an excellent photo.

I'd like to think it's a bird that could see this is a good person.

Nah, "Free range" mate :lol:

It was a young Swallow (I think) that looked like it had been left by it's mother. Picked up by a wedding guest who is a mechanic and has quite rough looking hands which is a starch contrast to the softness of the baby bird.
