A flock of one!
Being envious of Davids flocks of 100's I went to look at our flock!! and for the first time found it in the trees not on the ground,
would appreciate the C&C.

Looks a little soft to me, but I have to admit to a strong jealous streak. Did you USM it after re-sizing because that might help? Great bg Paul

Nice find. Agree with Eric - also wonder if it could be lightened a touch

Hi Paul,

Nice shot! I agree with the above comments about it appearing a liitle soft. A little lighter would make the bird pop I reckon.

Hi Paul

A nice clear shot (often not easy when perched) agree with above comments - it needs to be about 2/3rd of a stop lighter!

Much better - looks good to me. Might shift the twig at top right
