Hi Tony

Nice pose and perch. If this were mine (and I wish it were), I'd clone out the patches of sky as they compete for attention and are easy to deal with

Thanks for the comments folks.
Barrie, as regards cloning out the blue bits I dont need to. I have dozens of shots taken from angles all round the bird, including shots with totally OOF backgrounds but for some reason I liked this one??

Very nice - photgenic bird and perch - maybe needs a slight rotation?

Very nice Tony, as Tim says a bit on the bright side.... (are you living off Indian Take aways ?)

Nicely done Tony, and a far more attractice perch than the lamp-posts they sit on in my area!!
