Nice detailed shot Phil.

The OOF white patch grabs a bit maybe tone it down a little.

I like the composition with the OOF bird just making eye contact. I agree the white patch is a little dominant, but doesn't spoil the overall image for me - nice one.

Lovely feather detail in the large version. The green/purple patch is only a minor distraction :wink:

Hi Phil.
That white bit as pointed out does drag the eye but overall i do think its very good the detail on the bird is super.

The white patch is indeed a bit dominant but other than that a very nice and detailed image.

Lovely detail in the main subject. Bit distracted by the white oof but it looks more natural to me than the green/purple patch mentioned by Nick. :smile:

I really like this one Phil. The nits mentioned don't bother me on the whole. I love the positioning of the two birds, the detail in the main subject is superb and the DoF is such that the main bird has just the right amount of seperation from the rest of the image. A lovely intimate shot.
