Hi John,

Could do with a bit more sharpening, but lovely composition and colours, perfect timing with the berry in the mouth!!

Regards

Rob

Lovely shot John - I've been trying for these and redwing without success. Not sure if it could take any more sharpening as I can see a halo around some of the berries.

Very nice John, you've done a lot better than I have this autumn. Two measly shots so far and both of those are really only record shots. So very well done. :toast: :toast:

Love the pose and colours although maybe a little heavy on the saturation, have you altered them at all?

is the head sharp, not sure.

great timing though nice one!

Good timing John but agree with Ian about what look like halos around some of the berries :smile:

Handsome shot of a handsome bird. It looks like the focus is probably on the wing rather than the eye, but even so, it's a nice one to have in the bank. Nice timing as already mentioned.

Good shot. I do agree with the others about the sharpness.
Nice colours and contract.

Hi Folks thanks for your comments. I think my eyes are starting to go I apologise that the image is not sharp. All I did in PS with this picture was a slight Sat. and some sharpening.I hope this is sharper. :toast:
