This is just lovely. Subject a bit to central in the frame but that's really a minor nit. Great capture. Love it.

Dale think you are right just enough in the bg to add interet in this lovely shot.

I echo the above comments but would loved there to have been a bit of a catchlight in the eye to lift it.

Nothing wrong with that, excellent timing!

Agree a bit too central and lacking catchlight in the eye but still a beautiul image Dale. Like the perch too and think BG works nicely. :wavey:

Superb timing Dale but agree about the positioning within the frame and the lack of a catchlight in the eye.

Excellent! OK, maybe a bit central, but that's personal preference.
