Another redwing

Despite a number of visits to local orchards, which are currently packed with fieldfares by the thousands, I have still not succeeded in photographing the species to my satisfaction. So here is another redwing from a recent session in Woking instead.

Lovely vibrant image David and very well timed too. Is this full frame?

There is a bit of a crop top and right, Simon. I wanted to cut off some o.o.f. foliage at the top of the frame, and make the bird itself less central than it was originally. I guess this is about 75% of the original.

lovely colourful image I would of cropped the few oof berries out on the left top corner but very nice image

Hi David

As Simon said, 'well timed' great to see a bit of action in a shot. The crop works well with good placement of the RW IMHO. Any further form of 'gardening' here David might tip the balance, plus it is difficult to know where you might start or indeed finish. A polariser might have helped, but know they are mega for this lens

Berry in the beak adds interest and makes for a wonderful image David.

Cracking image Dave, with punchy colours and great pose

Hi David, great capture. nice setting.

Another good shot from your recent work David and I do agree that just removing those berries from the top left corner (those 'not attached') and leave it at that as it's just how you would see them and the strong diagonal works well.
