Hi Phil great shot but not quite sure about the comp. :toast:

Very good shot Phil, I like how you have got the white neck stripe. Not so keen on the perch. These have such fast reflexes and I don't :wink:

Nice sharpness and detail Phil :wavey:

Nit for me is the slight 'looking away' pose :wink:

like the perch on this one although it would have been improved by the subject looking up a little possibly at the camera, just my preference.

Like the murky green and brown palette Phil, pity it didn't land the other way round or look up a little to get some more eye contact :smile:

Nice setting, but for me, there is too much room at the top of the image and I would rather there be eye contact rather than the slight head turn away from the camera.

Nice picture, I do like the branch but agree the bird could have been a better model and posed looking towards the camera.

Hi Philip,
Doesn't quite work for me if I'm honest as I find the composition just a little unbalanced and also would idealy have prefered a head turn towards the camera.
