Nice shot Paul in what looks quite strong sunlight. Nice perch and looks like he's just had a bath. Such a shame he chose to perch right next to the twig :rolleyes: I love this kind of BG.

Very sharp!! I personally don't have a problem with the perch, its nice to have something other than the standard 1 branch shot we see so often. This looks a bit more 'wild' to me than a typical feeding station shot, after all half the time we see birds in the wild they are not sat on a single branch nowhere near any others. Also the thorns make it more interesting and the background is also very nice :toast:

The perch distracts me a little but not enough to take away from this fantastic shot..sooo sharp :toast: :toast:

Hi Paul,

I think this is a very good image as is. Absolutly pin sharp and excellent BG and colours.

The perch is a bonus IMHO. Beautiful detail in the bird. Excellent.
