Classy shot - love the sharpness all the way across with a good pose and nice OOF background.

Hi Phil, very nice capture and over all a good picture.

No nits from me, a classic shot beautifully executed.

Looks fine to me nice and sharp with a catch light in the eye

Might have been tempted to lose the last half cone on the bottom rhs

Other than nit mentioned by Ian I think it's a wonderful shot giving a sense of environment and scale. Nice work.

Works for me. Great colour palette and good to see a rather different perch to the norm.

Lovely shot, nice BG. Like the crisp details in both the bird and the cones.

The bird and the perch jumps out very strong,
its a pleasure to wander through this picture with your eyes

Is this a big bird with big cones or a small bird with small cones?

Despite this conundrum a beautifully detailed image. Excellent.

Lovely detail. Nice perch and BG. I think I would like a tad more room on top but thats just personal.

Posted by Guy Rogers on March 30, 2010 at 5:13 PM

Hell Phil.

Nice capture and love the perch.

I think I would go with the idea of cropping the cone out.

Quality image Guy, love the BG and the perch.
