Glad you've got your camera back Andy. Really like this, the subject really jumps out from the background. :toast:

Enjoy having the camera back!! Certainly looks like you haven't lost your skills whilst being sans camera - this is a fine shot. It's an attractive perch (IMO) and the pose of the bird is great. I thought at first that some of the shaded areas might benefit from being lifted slightly, but the more I look at it, the more I think it's absolutely fine as is.

Nice photo on first impression - great pose on a nice perch - perhaps just a little too much shadow for me. Good to hear you have your gear back!
