Hi Guy,

Nice colours and pose, but the Eye looks a little soft, perhaps some more USM.

Regards

The point of focus does seem to be on the wing and back rather than the head throwing it slightly soft, but none the less a nice portrait shot.

.......sorry to be pedantic, but these birds are Yellowhammers and not Yellow coloured Hammers, I'm not sure where the original mistake arose on NPN but the bird naming of this species is frequently wrong and/or copied wrongly :mad:

....... soap box put away :biggrin:
