Nice one Kim
Maybe a tad up in the frame and a bit of space on the left but no big deal.
Best wishes. Speak later.

Nice shot Kim maybe a bit over sharpened as there seems to be a halo around the beak. Other than that very nice :toast:

That's really very nice, I like it a lot. Nits already mentioned.

Lovely! I've seen a lot of these recently, but no decent shots. I agree about the halo - from this forum, I've learned that these can largely be avoided by selecting the bird and applying the sharpening to the bird only. (That is if it is actually caused by sharpening - the shadow/highlight tool can produce some funny effects too)

Nice shot Kim, I'd be tempted to clone out the part twig on the right hand edge and as John says maybe a bit on the left, but well done for catching on without twigs all over it! :smile:

A well taken shot and a good one to have in your collection. Losing the twig as Magnus says would add the finishing touch.
