Nice.
Big no no for me is the bud sticking out of the end of the tail.
Some might say clone it out

The blossom again seems to be "flagging " or not looking very well. :rolleyes: Otherwise -nice little shot . Maybe get the bird over to the left a bit.
Again - dont you mean "mirrored " horizontally ??
Cheers

Nice shot, great detail in there, bit of a shame about that bud near the tail as it seems to draw my eye a bit, but not a major problem I'm sure. Lovely shot.

Your reference to "mirrored" as against "flipped", is just pure semantics.

I have much better things to do with my time, than to bother with this sort of thing, so I'm going next door to watch some paint dry.
