Kev .... not taken either ... I am always open to suggestions and truly don't mind anyone editing my pics .Please feel free anytime ....I respect anyone's view when it comes to what they like or don't like in an image .... it's such a personal thing. I 'd be honest and say if I liked it more or not.. SO ...PLEASE ... don't feel that I consider it a criticism... it's an opinion.. we all have one ...it's life !

Please feel free to do that if you like Kev ....I'm always happy to see an edit from you...

Thank you very much David... it was a lucky opportunity...right place right time.

Nice job folks ... Hi Chrissie I suspect you have compressed the image to fit it on here with the ceiling of 500 kbs being the rule .. The file size of the image is only 378kbs and only approximately 500 pixels wide ...not ideal for restoring . Most of my iPhone pics are about 1.8 Mb and can be worked on quite easily so if you could let me have the original large file from her Phone ( unless she has only given you the compressed version too ) I can probably do a much better quality restore that the one I am posting ...lol Send me a personal message if you want me to try restoring on a bigger version, if you have it, and I 'll send you my email address to send it to. No obligation if you don't want to ...it's just an offer . I have cropped it as the sky seemed superfluous and badly blown ...

Looks like it could be a real boon for cctv surveillance cameras... usually the images are so pixelated you couldn't recognise your own mother on them . Not that she would have been filmed TWOCing in a city centre car park !

Thanks Kate ... it's hard sometimes to accept that Nature always has a Ying to it's Yang ... it's the Balance that ensures survival isn't it? I'd lay money on the fact that it's unlikely to happen again with such a photo opportunity ...so I just kept clicking ..Sometimes when you actually come eye to eye with a wild animal /Bird like this ...in it's own environment ,. something almost primal happens and you just have a deepened respect for the way Mother Nature has it all worked out ... Such a shame it's us humans who seem to be messing it all up ... Oh dear better stop now eh

Been watching the footie the past hour then I saw this...so am really thrilled to bits Chris... Thank you so much everyone else too for your supportive comments... I think I just got lucky ... But I am thrilled none the less. Thank you all very much Woohoo!!

Congratulation Chrissy...S'a good reason not to do the dusting eh

Well that must have been a relief ... how very odd though ..

Ah ...I like that Chris ... Looks like the cat does too ...

VERB... Cor that took me straight back to English grammar lessons Judy!!!!

I think it's ok to post on days other than Sunday Phoenix if I have read the post correctly ....quote from BP:- " I'll start a new thread first thing Sunday morning to put the images into - if you can't post them on Sunday don't worry, just bung them in when you get a chance and lets see how it builds." Take a pic each Sunday and post it here when you can ... I think that 's what it means .....

As soon as it appeared ... one knew ...A stand out piece of work ...Again.... congratulations Bill. Perfect choice Colin..

Fracture

Congratulations Kobione.... So many variations on the Red theme ... Gives credence to the saying," there's more than one way to skin a cat" . I love the expression on the chicken's face having squashed her clutch of eggs ... Priceless

I's a minefield innit ?

I have McAfee...paid monthly with my Sky sub for about 7 years ..about £4.00 a month and touch wood ...never had any probs..Can be slow when it's scanning so I have each PC and laptop set at different times for a weekly scan so it doesn't hinder me ...One sub covers three devices... I hope all goes well in the PC hospital for ya.... fingers crossed.

Good grief ... ... have you any idea how it snook in ?
