Really nice image, tack sharp on the eye. there's a good neutral overall colour to the image too. On a personal note, I'm not quite sure about the OOF FG, but like I say that's a personal thing. On the other hand does make the dunnock look bigger in the frame.
Doesn’t quite come off for me, too much softness, not just the foreground, but also the tail/grass(s). The Dunnock itself is sharp where it counts.
Re this actual image, I would seriously consider cropping off the foreground, taking my reference point where it finishes on the left hand side, and then living with the loss of the virtual feet. But Hey, that’s just me.

I like this a lot. Nice subtle colours and lighting and I like the OOF foreground and overall compostion.

nice shot, the pose is really great and the muted colours are nice too

Very good indeed; but the OOF foreground and lost feet take the edge off it for me!

Hi Marek
Just got around to this. Bird fine apart from the loss of the feet, But the oof other stuff maybe just a bit too much for me,

I agree with Drew and Ian about the FG.
