Love the subtle color of this dunnock Geoffrey and how the colors in the background highlight the colors of the bird. Very nice angle, light details and sharpness. Lovely view of the eye too.

Geoff, I always appreciate shots like this where the colors of bird and background are similar but the subject still stands out well. I like your eye level angle on the bird and the snow patch is a positive too. Well done.

Great comp with the snow angling down right to left. Nice colors all working together. Nice DOF and detail and sharpness on the bird. Eye level with the subject always works for me. Well done.
