Sorry, David, but this looks very over-saturated on my monitor :eek:

Have to agree with Cliff on this one.. and a bit contrasty..

I like the interaction with the birds but as mentioned, it looks as if the light was quite harsh, colours a bit overcooked and background just a tad messy.

Sorry this should have been the one. :eek:

Yes the second one is much better. Good behavioural shot David. I think its such fun watching the different bird's antics while courting. I have a pair of nesting Dunnocks in the garden at the moment and they are quite funny at times. Looking forward to the next in the series :biggrin:

Second one for me. Agree with some of the previous nits but you've used what you were given well. My only other comment would be that the subjects should be further towards the centre to give the image more balance.

Cheers,
Chris

Agree that the repost is a great improvement - looks as though you had to contend with difficult lighting conditions. :smile:
