Hi David

Crop some off the top(to much waisted space).

This is very, very nice

Detail, pose, perch, muted BG and subject all making for a cracking shot

Just going by the title I knew this would be a cracking shot, and of course it is

Everything looks spot on on my screen, excellent stuff!

Have to agree with Alan though on the space above.

Best wishes.

Very nice, the bird and twig are spot on. I couldn't tell you how to crop it, this is the one area i'm rubbish at.

The space at the top is crying out for a publication to fill with some meaningful sentence. Excellent shot. Is it an edible or ornimental cherry?

Thanks everyone for your comments. I agree with croping some off the top. I seem to be getting hung up with producing everything to A4 format.

David; this is an edible cherry.

Thanks again

David
