Very nice colour on the background John but on this one I think it's slightly overpowering the bird. Perhaps it needs to be a bit smoother, bigger aperture perhaps, presumably the distance is fixed?.

Cracking Autumn colours John, well captured pose.

Thanks.
Robert Looking at it now I agree-This is the one I posted first then changed my mind. Maybe it lessens the impact of the backdrop with the bird being larger. Can't do much about aperture on that lens anyway. Can't move the perch much -its at about 5 foot.
Cheers

HI John
I like the second one better nice detail and background.
Looks like you a couple of dust bunnies on the lhs
Much prefer the composition on the original post, although the bird does look a little dark/dull in comparison to the brighter background. Maybe just selectively brighten up the bird on the original?

both nice shots John but I think I prefer number 1, particularly if the bird were lightened slightly. I do like the Autumn colours in the background.
