Black Redstart, female.

Image of this beautiful lady was created in the last week.

Basic editing. Cropped for composition. NR applied to BG. BG in the LLC was dark blue in colour was removed as much as possible.
Perch darken, eye lighten.
ISO: 400, 1/1000 @5.6. Spot metering. Manual settings.
Canon 550D 100-400 mm.

Thanks for viewing, critiques and comments,
Kind Regards,
Satish.

Satish:

Excellent pose, really like the nice display of her grip on the perch. Good call to tone down the brightness of the perch a bit.

Her crown and neck area perhaps could benefit from a bit more sharpening. The tip of the bill and feet look quite sharp, so perhaps the plane of focus was a bit anterior.

Cheers

I agree with Randy, but will add that I love the colors and the simplicity of the design of this image.
