Nice colours on this Paul but there is some slight movement in the image due to the slow shutter speed. Nice to get it calling though. :jump:

Minor nit is the two oof bits on the left.

Complementary colouring throughout, and BIF. Very nice indeed.

Very nice detail and BG Paul. Agree with Ian. Think I would clone out the two OOF bits on the left though. :smile: :toast:

Hi Paul,

Nice pose and colour in the bg, but I have to agree with Ian regarding the camera shake, it doesn't look critically sharp to me.

Cheers,

Lewis.

Not so sure it's as much camera shake as it is subject movement, the bramble stem looks pretty sharp to me below the bird.
Like a lot about this one, but the two very oof grass stems on the left spoil the background a bit

the tail was flicking continuosly. giving the impression of "camera shake"
OOF items of concern cloned.

Like it now, liked it before! A very neat little bird and great colour palette :toast:

Great shot Paul. At first I thought it had an overall colour cast but the more I looked at it the more I liked it. :toast:

Hi Paul, great shot and the second one is the one I prefer. :toast:
