Brilliant shot, the background shows off the bird really well! And the pose is perfect.

Lovely shot, but for my taste a little too large and a little too central in the frame. Great background though.

Lovely shot Guy pose and background spot on plenty of detail :toast:


I would prefer a bit more room on the LHS for it to look into :wink:

Works for me as posted Guy, that BG is something else, super smooth and a gorgeous colour. The chat is very nice too, full of detail and pin sharp, super image.

Beautiful image, but I think a little bit more space would benefit it more. :smile:

A bit more space ideally, but for presentation here this is fine, a very nice image of this bird.

Too large in the frame for me, but easily fixed, otherwise a very nice shot.

Hello and thank you for your comments.

You are right it needs abit more space and I shouldn't have cropped it before posting, just thought I would try and make the image look stronger at this small size, but it seems I got it wrong again.( as with the grey dagger caterpillar ) I will try an learn my lesson.

Thanks agian :wavey:

Agree would like a little more room on the left but a lovely shot and beautiful background. Well done that man. :wavey:

Why does it need more room? iI's not going anywhere.:biggrin: :wink: I think it is excellent just as it is, IMHO.

I love the colour palette here and perch is great. Nice head turn too. I agree a little tight but you could sort that if you wanted to.
