Black Redstart
Hi all,

These birds are quickly becoming one of my favourite species. This one is from Knockadoon Head in East Cork. Light was poor and my processing skills wouldn't be the hottest.

Cheers MJ

A very nice little image Michael, however it is a tad dark. Try increasing the brightness and add a little contrast and sharpening of the bird, and it will give an already nice image, a bit of a lift imho. Well done.

Nicely composed within the frame, but I echo Fran's comments as I do feel that it needs a bit of a lift.

Hi Micheal,

Super subject and love the comp! I agree about giving it a little lift, should make the world of difference.

Cheers,

Lewis.
