Hi Tony,

Great to get one of these... looks a tad on the contrasty side, is it a large crop? It may be me but the head looks like it may have been a tad soft..

Hi Phil

Hardly any crop, the bird was only about 10 feet away. The head is pin sharp (you can count her eyelashes!) you know me and my pixel peeping! :smile:

Hi Tony,

Looking closely I think it is due to the compression....

Hi Tony,

Nice shot , looks a bit flat on my monitor , needs a little saturation IMO , that chestnut wing panel should really stand out against the rest of the wing.

Regards

Andy... :smile:

Hi Tony,

Nice image. Nice bird. I agree with Andy about it looking a little flat though.

Never seen one, so I can't comment on whether the colours are correct, But I like them all the same. I especially like the way that the foreground colours are repeated in the bg.
