Breakfast time

I was watching this juvenile Rufous Whistler flitting through the foliage for a while before he finally caught his brekky

Lovely shot Jess. The eye contact is compelling. That bird almost has an expression on it's face that says:"Job well done!", or similar.

I'm warming to your square format in presenting your photos. Excuse the pun, but it's making me 'think outside my usual square', which is always a good thing. I thank you for that!

Nice capture Jess - nailed the eye. I don't mind the square either. I initially thought that the bird was a bit central, but I think I see why you have cropped it that way, because of the balancing oof foliage coming in from top left?

Cheers

Great image Jess, the square image reminds me of one of the old Kodak cameras they always had a square image, nothing wrong with that shape.

Lovely sharp shot and great detail - the muted browns appeal to me in this also.

Thank you so much.
I know I'm supposed to think of the 'triangle' or leaving more of a branch leading to the subject rather than having the subject square on although I did leave a bit of foliage as you mentioned Alan.
You're welcome Charles, nothing wrong with a change of thinking
I just like to see what it is I have photographed 'cos that's what I'm about. Capturing shots of our beautiful and often stunning wildlife.
Never been one for convention in most things though and it is a personal preference.
