This looks really good! Nice details, colours, and comp (although I like both versions). The bit of grasses along the bottom are a nice touch, with...

Way to go, this looks great! Perch, background, light, and prey item all contribute nicely. I love the foot up on the knob.

Oh man I hope to see this warbler some day! Nice perch, pose, background, but I agree that the yellows are hot in spots, and contrast strong overall.

Again Jon, I feel you have drifted away from 'Key Basics' and definitely over thinking things and watching the Tinternet, which does contain truck...

Thanks Steve - agreed colours are rather bold.... yes I just checked monitor is overdue for calibration. I had been playing around with differing...

Pleasing aerial shot, the open bill and wing position make for agood pose. Colours and processing - spot on.

Super shot action and portrait mode well suited. Colours look very natural, focus is absolutely spot on (which of course I am sure you knew!) This...

Nicely caught, for me the darks are a little to dark and the yellows in the bird I think are just clipped, maybe a little less Saturation and...

Does not get much better than that Andreas, processing and composition looks ideal, super pose/action.

Again Jon, very heavy and blacks are contrasty. Some nasty posterisation in the BKG too. Just a thought....?

Hi Jon, have you calibrated your monitor recently????? Looks very saturated and with a slight cast too. Some nice detail but its all competing for...

Artie, my bet is folk are not viewing the image at 100%, but their Browser is enlarging the image beyond its posted size ie 1920px, hence why some...

Hi Jon, Not sure what you are seeing but the detail in the yellow comb looks to be superb on this side of the pond. with love, a

Thanks Jon, as I said previous, I’m just looking at things differently. Nothing massive and with the changes to the cameras there might be more...

Thanks Jon, just an old man looking at things and reflecting on the ‘wind of change.’ Less so this image, as this was shooting from the hip in...

Very clean shot pretty much ideal colours, now we need one with it at take off!

Lovely clean shot this one also leaves me thinking have you changed your preferences, I am used to a little more "thrutch" as my old Grandpa would...

Top class!! Super shot - love it, pose perch background colours and pose - top class.

Very nice indeed, beautifully processed. if mine I would check to determine the comb, perhaps reduce saturation/luminance to render some detail...

Nice shot Andreas, is it me or is there a slight yellow/green cast on the bird?

Lovely shot, am I sensing a slight change in you presentation or is it just the ambient conditions? Your recent images seem to be a little less...

I like both versions and perhaps a square crop would work as well. In the original post, I would eliminate only the sharper grasses with the Remove...
