Hi Paul
Pity about the perch ! :wink:
The background looks a little noisy for 400 iso too.
Nice grab though.

The bird itself looks great but there seems to be a strange halo surrounding the bird and fence and unfortunately the overexposed fence really spoils what could be a very nice portrait. Definately worth re-processing it, as it's a great species and it's not everyday you get an oppurtunity such as this.

Paul, not sure how you do PP but the end result doesn't look very good. I think it needs a re-work, for what looks like a good shot. :frown:

Very lucky shot Paul, for me it is a bit oversaturated.
