Very nice paul, i love the size of the bird in the image. I dont mind the leaves in the way either. My only little nit is that i can see some NR in the image which is quite visible on one of my monitors.

yes noise in the shot left on purpose, might remove it on the next one not bad for 800 though.

The noise in the BG is fine, but i can see some noise reduction in the feather detail on the birds right.

Very nice and different shot. Noise is no big deal for me.

Nice shot, seems a little tight in the frame for my tastes, but I like the inclusion of the leaves giving a sense of habitat. Looks nice and detailed too. Isn't this a Whitethroat?
