Here you go Keith, I think the image would work a little better if the bird was smaller in the frame and if you had direct eye contact with the LTT, also I'd have another go at the processing to get rid of the distinct halo around the bird. On the positive side you have some good points in the image, like the smooth BG and the fine detail in the feathers, it's worth another crack IMO.

Hi Keith, agree with Andy, direct eye contact would really elevate an already good image, also seems to be some artefact happening in the bottom right corner

Perhaps if the bird was slightly smaller in the frame and more to the top right (giving more space to stare into) this would work a little better. Some nice detail and colours there though

Hi Keith

good shot and well worth having another go at to correct the nits already mentioned

I'm with the others on this - definitely worth another go, as the colours are great. If possible, it would be good to see the whole of the two buds at the bottom.

Thanks a lot for your comments,dont know how the halo got there and not sure what i can do about the eye contact but i have made it smaller in the frame.Thanks again this is just what i need from this forum.
Keith

He certainly is great stuff.
