Ray, this is a nice shot of this bird in its habitat. You made the most of some challenging light and the composition of the bird in the frame is well done.
If it were my shot I would crop some off the top to just under the second small leaf on the upper left. Also, I might have dialed in a little negative exposure compensation to better handle the glare off the leaves and for better highlight detail.
Not easy shooting in high contrast light, but you took good advantage of the photo opportunity!
Thanks for the comments much appreciated, and the points you have raised are duly noted..
I rarely do anything to my images, when they are going to be posted on the web, as I want to get other peoples thoughts, without imposing my own with pre-posting work. That way it’s a win, win situation as everyone can learn something.
