Very nice indeed

Yeah very nice. Maybe try a few different crops as I don't think the squarish format suits this particularly well

I like it Stu!!!

Great little curved perch, and good plumage detail.

Personal taste, but i would like a tighter crop, assuming the file could take it, but its a nice shot of this chap!!

Thanks for the comments and suggestions,all gratefully recieved.

Went with square'ish crop as there is nothing else in the frame,did'nt feel leaving more space added anything.

Would'nt want to crop much more as this is fairly heavy crop already.

Hi Stuart

Very nice image, although I am also not keen on this crop. I would either have the bird higher in the frame showing a little more of that great perch or go in a bit tighter!

Hi Stuart,
Nice shot of a cracking little bird.

Kind regards
Andy...

Very nice capture but needs a different crop as already mentioned

Nice image not to keen on the crop Stu.

Thanks all,

I have revisited the original,and changed to a tighter crop.Just below the perch is an oof branch,which I have tried without success to remove,so had to be cropped,but the tighter crop works and has'nt lost any detail.

Thanks for the guidance.

Stu.

Nice one, also not keen on the crop, but you seem to addressed that, I might look to a tad less contrast...
