Lovely shot, Karen. Great perch and I like the "over the shoulder look". :smile:

A fine image, although the colour looks a little flat to me, but this may be a deliberate processing choice.

thanks everyone, Phil the colour doesn t seem flat to me to be honest the tones are subtle,as was the light when it was took,so I thought the colour suited it as it is,wouldn t want it overly bright, but thanks for the comment always appreciated.

The colours look fine on here. Just what I'd expect with these birds in the light you have. It's a lovely shot, well composed, attractive pose, great perch and very complimentary background colours. Like it a lot.
