Haven't seen one of these on here for ages :wink:

Nice detail and a super BG - perch might be a tad large, but that's a minor nit and you take what you can get.

Nice one Nick :toast:

Can't fault it, Nick. Love the clarity and the superb detail, especially in the dark face of the chat.

Top quality work as always :toast:

Good 'un ! As folks say - good detail in the blacks.
Being a meanie I would say the perch is a bit overpowering.
To me personally that is -others will have other views -no doubt :wink:

To be really nit-picking, I would like to see a little more space above the bird, but other than that superb.

A cracking image.

Top shot Nick. Crop is a little square but not overly so. I would like to have seen a landscape image with a bit more space to the left of the bird and a little less of the post. Having said that I'd still be more than happy with this.

the perch is perhaps not the most attractive but the bird and the background are great Nick.

Excellent shot Nick, perch nit already covered, but an image with everything in the right place. A cracker. :toast: :toast: :toast:

Lovely image with great detail and a very nice uncluttered background. :smile:

Great detail, colours, and bg Nick, good to see a catchlight in the eye as well. Perch maybe a bit large, but like the greenish colour it has :toast: :toast:
