Black redstart female
Hi friends,
this is a shot from the same day and the same place than my last
post. It seems to be a very unimpressive bird but exactly this is its advantage I think.

7D, 5,6/600, f11, ISO 500, 1/320, baghide, tripod

thanks for looking

A very delicate image Berti, both in terms of colour & subject.

It does look a little light IMHO so perhaps a slight move in levels lh 7 and a tweak in Selective colour might just give it the edge Berti? :wink:

Lovely portrait, with great detail. :smile:

Great shot, I do feel that you could lose a little off the top of the frame to give greater emphasis to the subject.

Best wishes,

David
