Not too sharp but different i thought.
Through the room window. had an amazing two days.
Been busy re building PC and halfway through processing "too many " birds in the snow "stuff. My delete finger is hurting but some came good.

A bit soft on my screen John but that must be the window, but I do like this. Great looking birds.

Thanks both.
Edwin - like I said -not too sharp but I,ve not used any USM or sharpening at all. I don't like it normally but I'll try it.
Cheers

Very nice John. I like the inquisitive look of the left hand bird.

Hi John, I think you should try it.. It will make these guys 'pop'.. The window has flattened it a bit and it shows on the perch as well.. I like the pose and composition.. Nice one..

Great shot, John. You certainly get some special birds and plenty of them in your neck of the woods. Mark

They are both great shots, but I think the repost has it by a whisker.
