A very nice shot Andy, I think the original just has it for me as the second does appear a touch pink. Beautiful pale pastel colouration on the background.

I prefer the original posting too, although a tad more contrast would help. I like Dunnocks and this is a very nice image of an underated bird.

I agree that somewhere in between would be good, perhaps raising the contrast on the bird and perch from the original would be the way to go instead of the whole picture. This might help reduce the cast as well.. Over all I actually like it and it really is a different way of seeing a Dunnock. Nice capture...

Lovely shot, I agree - somewhere between the two posts would be good. Really nice pastel colours and uncluttered background.

Lovely shot, like the BG and prefer the second if pushed

Hi Andrew
I find this species difficult to get a pleasing image of but you have achieved it here!

13 repliesDunnock, photographed while waiting for Weasel's, a much overlooked subject, but still a cracking little bird, thanks for looking.

A super dunnock.... with the environment perhaps a little different to what we are used to... perhaps just a touch more contrast and saturation....

Repost is better but it does appear to have a slight cast as Ian noted.
