Made me smile Maggie, you can't have it all of the time and I think you certainly made the most of this one. Superb detail and a really clean,crisp shot. I would have composed it a little higher in the frame just to give a little more space to look into but otherwise very nice indeed.

I can see what Brett means about placing it a little higher, but a very nice shot Maggie. :toast:

I just wish I could see these faults in my own shots.

Aren't they beautiful little birds? :smile:

Tail or no tail - it is still a fabulous, well detailed shot. Love the pose and background. :toast:

Nits already covered, a lovely shot with a nice, clean background.

Firstly, thats a great BG Maggie and secondly it's a fine image, like the pose of the LTT and the detail captured is very good, nice one.

Thanks everyone. I can see a little more room at the bottom would be better. :wavey:

Nits covered, I think this image is charming and full of character. The title made me laught, but you have just managed to catch a smidge of the tail the other side of the branch :smile: A super shot!

Hi Maggie - nits covered, looks to have a slight green cast unless the LTT needs a wash :biggrin:

Nice and sharp where it matters and a great BG :wavey:
