Thats a close-up alright Very nice detail and nice catchlight in the eye.

Hi Ron
Great close up - if a bit big in the frame ,but the perch looks a bit odd somehow. Especially just below the bird's left foot.
Exposure on the bird spot on. I usually burn the head out.
Cheers

Great shot. I hear what John is saying though, have you done something with the stick?

Hi Ron. Too big in the frame for me I'm afraid, and just having one foot showing makes this slightly unbalanced, as in I can't work out how he's managing to perch- sorry.
Hi Ron, the position of the bird within the frame kind of works, but the detail around the eye & bill looks rather flat with very little definition compared to the chest. Agree with JR, re the 'perch', as it appears to have had some 'cosmetic' work done on it too, rhs?
Appreciate if you can keep it to 720 high, means I don't have to keep chasing round the laptop screen.
