Love the 'sepia' pallatte, a slight head turn towards you would have been nice but appreciate that the bird wouldn't co-operate with your wishes, lovely to see it singing away and you did remarkably well to get this at 1/60th, might be tempted to get rid of the bit of OOF peeling bark.
A great image nontheless of one of my faveourite LBJ's

Wow...gorgeous. Apart from your bird singing its little heart out, I love the colouring of the shot...just beautiful.

Hi Phillip - a harder bird to get a great shot of than most folk would imagine - very nice, and on his shouting perch too
I might have been inclined to have upped the ISO to give a better shutter speed although it seems to have worked ok,the eye does look a little soft and maybe some selective sharpening would sort it
