Hi Justin

Well composed image and a beautiful setting more worthy of the male who's colours would have stood out better!

Hi Justin,

I can only echo Davids comments but would be tempted to clone out the yellow OOF bits by the birds head as it takes my attention away from it subject

Judging from the above comments its probably my eyes or monitor but the gorse and heather look sharp and the bird looks soft

Still a nice environmental image Justin.

Very nice Justin,

I am sure I would have cropped in tighter by default. However, looking at your wider view it conveys a different story.

Thanks for sharing.

Cheers

Austin
