Pied Flycatcher part duex
I said I find these little birds irresistable, so this one is a little lowwer and less hot!

same techs as before.

C&C welcome

That's very nice Paul with a lovely BG. It's a bird thats on my must see list this year, an image like this would be a bonus!! :smile:

Nice bird and well framed by the branches. It could be my screen but doesn't look quite as sharp as it could be. Bit of a sharpening halo visible too, mostly on the beak and the lower branch. Attractive backdrop.

Hi Paul,

Good exposure control and catchlight.
I find the vertical branch is distracting but if you had moved to the right you would have lost the eye contact.

Cheers

Austin

Really nice shot Paul, although I agree with Justin that it looks a tad oversharpened
