Great comp and super little bird with a fantastic bg... perhaps a tad too much contrast?

Great comp Jeroen, but as Phil mentioned it looks a bit high on contrast

Very nice i like the image, my only slight nit is that the whites look a little hot?

beautiful perch and bg, the head looks a little blown out though

Hi Jeroen,
A nice capture with clean background, good composition and an excellent perch to boot, however I do have to agree with the above, proclaiming blown highlights in the head region.

Hi Guys,
I have had some problems with my screen and the fact that it is an Apple Macintosh with a higher scrren value then most PC screens. I hope this REPOST looks a bit better...

I like the extra detail in the whites. The BG is great too.

Repost is a tad better, PC's and MAC's should be calibrated to the same values these days...
Gamma 2.2, luminance 100 to 120, white point 65K....
Happy to help if I can
Phil
Very very nice!
