Hi Craig

Wonderful colours and the 'midges' make it that bit different - I like it!

Wonderful KF shot Craig.
The BG color is a bit too strong for me.
Just a personal taste.

very nice, would consider cropping off the bottom half of the perch.

Very nice Craig, maybe slightly further right in the frame as its a tad central, but I love the way you've included that mossy perch, and the midges add to lifting the image away from the usual. Good one

A tad central but otherwise really works well Craig and the midges adds something different. Good work.
