Hi Peter,

Lovely shot! Great background and nice perch. Perhaps would have been even better if the beak was clear of the perch, but a very tiny nit.

Cheers,

Lewis.

Perhaps if you added a little more contrast to the beak you could make it stand out from the branch a bit more otherwise the GSW looks good to me.
