What a great shot for a first post, colours are spot-on. Welcome!
Do you have the technical data, shooting speed, aperture and software/processing used etc?

A lovely Image of what I am sure is the favourite of many.... the head area is perhaps a touch soft but the alert pose more than makes up for that...

Welcome and look forward to more....

Phil

Lovely rich deep colour to the bird with a fantastic catchlight in the eye and perfect complimentary background. If only the perch was as sharp?
