very nice, it can be hard to find a clean shot of these so well done, the green branches really set this off nicely

I lovely nature image here. Great depth of field and nicely framed with a 'window through' the vegetation.
Really like it. :toast: :toast:
P.s. It is not all about diffused foregrounds and backgrounds :biggrin:

A hard shot to find and expose, lovely nature shot. I don't know but it may be tempting to take a wee bit of the RHS.

What a super image... you are constantly presenting almost perfect settings which must take a lot of time and patience to research and find, the results are testament to a good amount of dedication..... only nit here is that I would probably crop to square for web presentation....

This has got to be a reference for images of 'common' species.

I agree with all of the above. Beautifull framed, pin sharp, great feather detail, exposure spot on. I can't fault it. Such a simple picture of a common subject that it would be easy to overlook what a good shot it is.
