After my previous post the bunting moved closer, which didn’t obviously allow for change in lens configuration, and resulted in what you see here. A more clinically clean shot for some, than my previous one.
Personally a tad large in the frame for me, but easily fixed by adding some canvas, etc..
For some the foliage bottom left and right should be removed, as should the O.O.F. branch end in the B.G.. Personally, although possibly not directly adding to the image, these features don’t detract from it, quite the contrary. As to my eye, these feature do add habitat, it’s a bush, and thus not another “bird on a stick”, and the O.O.F. branch end in the B.G. adds depth.
Taken from car, 600mm f/4, 1/250 sec @ f11, tripod, cable release used.

I agree with you about the extra canvas, but otherwise a fine shot.
Nice one Ray. Also a little tight for me. I don't mind the leaves left and right, but I do feel it would be a stronger image without the OOF twig you mention.
