Nice head turn, Looks like its looking right into the camera, If i were to be picky i would mention the 2 weeds? coming into the frame on the left which drew my eye but thats very minor

Hi Phil,

Lovely image and super quality. I do find the OOF grass seed head to the RHS of the bird a little distracting, perhaps tone it down a little?

Nice head turn and posture. Great opportunistic image though.

Cracking image. nice colours and exposure. the detail in the bird is stunning. :-)
. I agree with shaun tho, i find the mush on the RHS a little distracting too. i think its because there is some grass behind the bird, which seems to go out of focus more to the Right. but thats a minor nit .

Apart from being just a little large in the frame - very very nice and love the BG.

Hello Phil.

A little more space bottom and to the right would be nice other than that its a fine capture and the setting work fine for me.
