Taken a couple of minutes later than the previous two as I swapped over camera and lens.

Quite like the perch and setting Phil! Catchlight and detail in the shadows make this a well executed shot!
Perhaps a little work with the curves to give it a little more punch and lift the saturation. The image has a pleasing tone, I just think it needs a little more kick! Just my opinion though - others may disagree.

Nice shot and I agree with Tims comments above.

Hi Phil,
Nice shot, perch and BG, I also agree with Tim, needs a little lift

Hi Phil, nice setting and well-captured subject. I think a little more PP work to bring out the colours would bring the whole thing to life. Cliff

Like this one the most of the three Phil, the brown tones are very nice
Is that a wooden gimbal head its sat on?!

Hi Phil
nice image but I think the perch is a little heavy-thick, small birds, especially tits look good on delicate perches, the light and background are super.
