Super shot; the background complements the lovely bird a treat.
All I can see from my bedroom are starlings and chavs! :rolleyes: :frown: :eek:

Wow - that's a great view from your bedroom window. Wonderful barnie portrait. I'd be tempted to crop some off the top and lhs to improve the composition, but that's a very personal taste. Maybe also a little bit more USM too. Overall though really nice. :smile:

Hi Rob

I like the overall image very much, but IMO the bird looks just a little OE resulting in a small loss of detail!

Whats happened, when I viewed this yesterday it was normal size for posting here.... it now grown to a large image?

Agree with David re. the bird being a tad overexposed, the meter has prob been influenced by the surroundings and a bit od EV comp would have gone amiss, If you shot in RAW it may be recoverable, Still a nice shot and one I am sure you are pleased with, I know I would be if it were mine.....

Rob,

640 was meant to be the longest side :wink:

Thanks everyone for the comments. I have had another go in ps. (toned down exposure, cropped a little tighter etc, saved at correct size (doh......!)) See what you think. :smile:
