Hi Keith , this is gorgeously detailed image .The BG is a tadge over bright though with some highs that want a touch of calming.I'd refer a landscape crop for this .

Agree with Mark, the bird is spot on but the background just need toning down. :smile:

A good, clear and detailed shot of the Whitethroat.

Hi Kieth
Nits covered, and I reckon could do with more space on the left and some off the right.I assume its a panoramic shot. The back doesn't bother me that much -just the broad pale band coming down from the throat.
Nice Whitethroat ( could be a lesser in moult :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: )

Ah, my nemesis, that little bugger called the Whitethroat has illuded me for as long as I can remember :frown: top capture Keith, very envious.

Hello Keith.

Lovely detail and colour in this and I like the pose you have captured very much.

I think the only thing that could have improved this for me would have been a landscape format with more room in front and a little less on top.

Hi Keith

Great colours and detail - not sure about the square crop but that is a minor point.
