Nice Yammer, i've not seen one on the ground they always seem to beglued to bushes! I like the slightly quizzical cock to the head.

Looks way oversharpened here Paul

Very nice framing and pose, but as Andy said, definitely over-sharpened.

Cheers,

Dan.

Hi Paul,

Ouch! Cracking capture. I like this composition and the colours are nice. The only nit is, as mentioned - it’s a little over sharpened.

Nice shot, I havnt seen one for years, it looks oversharpened on my monitor too.

Hi,
it could have been really nice, I'm taking a guess here, but I don't think the bird was sharp and you have tried to compensate using one of the sharpening filters... also looks like the bg has had a touch of gausian blur..

Looking through the nits, it looks like the point of focus was slightly to the the rear of the bird...

Hi gents,
well dropped the contrast and for me looks better, there was no gausian or otherwise aonly adjust was the sharpening.

Hi Paul

The colours are great in this image - really stunning for a UK species.
