Maybe a bit of cw rotation would help and a 7x5 or 4x5 crop to lose the oof green area? A nice natural setting for a flighty bird though.

Happy new 600mm Phil! Agree with the comments on the OOF green... a crop would reduce it somewhat. Nice image of a lovely bird.
Have a great Xmas and a happy new year.
Nick.

Somebody has been a good boy to get that off Santa. I agree about the slight rotation, but still a good start with the new lens.

that's a Christmas present that will take some beating I look forward to seeing more.

I like your image its one that i can't seem to get.
Nice to get eye contact, although I do find the oof green on the rhs slightly distracting.
Have a great Xmas and a happy new year.
