Hi, nice bedroom shot, and welcome to the forum. Sadly the only thing you can see from most of our bedrooms are the neighbourhood cats :(

Nice image Mike:toast:

Shame about the tail - I've done that a few times myself.............doohhh!

Think yourself lucky Paul - all I can see out of mine is the bloody undertakers :biggrin: :jump: :jump: :biggrin:

Hello Mike
A nice pecker image, especially from your bedroom!
Don't forget, that for the most detailed critique you need to display as much information (techy) as possible.
Best wishes

A nice image of a particularly photogenic bird. Like the green backdrop and the way the trunk completely fills the lower corner.

Nice shot and good perch and BG. Shame about the tail. Techs would be good too :toast:

Very neat shot. I like the eye level PoV. I have to say that with the bird filling the frame so well and the PoV, the tail crop is not was not something I even noticed at first.
