Hi,
One from the Weekend, does anyone else notice how wildlife seems to go into hiding on bonfire weekend, I live in an area where the paganistic rituals of bonfire societies is still fairly strong, i.e. a lot of huge displays... most of the birds at my feeding station stayed well in the undergrowth, even the ever present and happy to pose Sparrows.
All the best

A lovely colourful image, shame that the eye doesn't have a catchlight, maybe a subtle touch of fill flash would have helped and also lifted the darker parts of the image..but only subtle mind set at say -2 or even -3, remember the old days with slide we would use a pin to poke a hole in the eye thereby giving a shot like this a catchlight...

Blinking Beirut here in Leeds this wknd, I saw a dog running for its life, I must be getting old as I now rant about fireworks. Lovely shot, really rich and the bird pops out beautifully.
Super rich colours, I bet it makes make a super print.
Best wishes

Hi Phil
Nicely done, lovely rich autumn colours. No real nits, pose is fine, composition is a little too central, maybe a landscape orientation might have worked better in this situation. However it is an excellent image as is, good work.
cheers

Beautiful. I like it as it is, but would be nice to see in landscape orientation, for a comparison.
