Chiff-Chaff in the vicars garden on Holy Island Northumberland

A beautifully detailed Chiff Chaff Ron, I perhaps would have cropped a tad more off the left hand side and bottom edge.

Lovely image Ron, with another prefect background! I agree with Kim, a crop would put more emphasis on the bird.

Agree about the cropping, and a great pose too.

Nice bird and great light too. Agree with the cropping comments, but also feel this could work as a portrait type crop too.

Good suggestion Ian, what do you think.

Hello Ron.
A nice image of the Chiffchaff and I also like the pose.
It does need to be cropped from the bottom and left side, but I would keep the landscape format. I feel the crop you have gone for as weakened the composition as ther is now to much at the bottom and not enouth in front of the bird.

I agree with Guy, I think your second version is cropped too much, and the picture better suits landscape format anyway. Great background.

A little crop on the first version for me. Processing looks a lot better.

Hi Ron. Nice colours and detail in this picture but you have obviously moved the chiffchaff to the right and up abit as there is still some cloning left of the bird (its tail).
