Personally, I would prefer the bird to be a little further left in the frame, as for me it is too central as posted. Other that that, a superb image.

That's just about spot on for me Phil, very nice. Just a tiny nit but at this size the blacks in the face might use a little lift

Phil,

Super image, the Redstart really pops on that green background. I'd probably go for the subject slightly lower and left, but a minor nit.

Lovely shot - would prefer the bird facing a little more towards the camera but that's minor. I'd be well chuffed if I'd taken this

It looks really good to me on this works monitor.

Hi Phil, works for, but agree with Simon about a slight lift in the blacks on the face. A very vivid & striking BG.
