Hi Phillip

Not the best of angles looking up, but I still think it is a beautiful image and I would settle for it!

Being picky I think a slightly smaller appature would have been better - the tip of the tail and beak seem just a little soft but a great image all the same

Hello Phil

I don't mind the fact that the tail is oof, sometimes images can look to clean if you know what I mean. Great shot

Hi Phillip,

A lovely sharp shot of one of my favourite birds. It would have been nice if he'd been facing the other way, away from the other piece of branch, but you can't have everything! All in all, very well taken.

I love the colours and plumage details rendered by the soft light and the catchlight in the eye. It really works for this bird. For me, the only thing that distracts is the branch just above the head... but I can definately live with that :toast:
