Lovely, great detail on the bird, lovely pastel colours. Some might say, more room to the right, but this composition works for me, as it's unusual and works well with the over the shoulder pose of the bird. Nice work!

Missed this earlier for some reason. ( Maybe dial up !!)
Maybe a portrait crop with less of the post in ? Just a thought . Or maybe even landscape with less post.
Cheers

Loads of cropping options there for the end user. A really clean shot. I like it.

Sneaking onto my patch when I'm not there eh :biggrin:

An image with lots of cropping options indeed, great pose, possibly crop into the perch as it is a touch dominant and some from the top... the bird looks perhaps a touch saturated?
