Nice detailed and colourful shot Phil. I'd be tempted to give the bird a touch more room if available though :wavey:

Super detail throughout and nice light.. There might be a slight green/yellow cast but easily sorted.

Lovely image, although a tad more space on the right would help balance the overall picture a little better.
