I know just how you are feeling! I posted my first photo a few months ago and it was a relief to find that everyone here is incredibly friendly and supportive. We're not allowed to comment on competition entries, but it's nice to see some monochrome. I know the location well.

Thank you for the reassurance, I have never been a confident photographer preferring to keep my images to myself and as for the monochrome well sometimes an image has no interesting story to validate it but the Black and white just adds a certain something that I love.

I never cease to be delighted at the bravery and featherweight of those lovely birds when winters scarcity of natural food tempts some to take seed and mealworm from the hand.
