    They are; a nice pair Pat,

    If mine, I'd lose the very nearest (very o.o.f.) foreground in #2 though.

    Cheers, Dave

    That risks having its feet too close to the bottom edge; but yes I agree with a slight crop.

    Technically well executed images. I find that in most cases preening shots are a lot more interesting through a viewfinder than they are on a monitor. But I'm beginning to suspect that I'm getting a bit stodgy

    Thank goodness I'm not opinionated

    The trouble is that this bird moves around so much that it is not easy to capture successfully. I have tried and failed several times so it's perhaps only when they stop for a make over that you get a decent opportunity.

    Both very nice shots, but if mine, I will tone down the blue rock in #2 because it competes with the blue of the bird in general.

    Well captured Pat, looks like #2 is camera shy
