Like this a lot, John. Great habitat, beautiful light, and nice framing for this EAKI. Like either water droplets or specs of pollen on feathers.

John, first glance I super like this one. It's a really nice capture with the flowers, HA and rich green colors.

Couple things though 1 - in our area the chest and neck are more white. This one seems to have a very muted white almost gray in those areas as well as base of the tail. Is that the bird in your area or a PP byproduct? 2. The bkg could use a little DN for me

Hi John: Beautiful environmental shot...love the detail on the bird and the HA, the flowers and contrasting BG colour. I'd crop a little off the LHS, removing the OOF areas. TFS

John;

Like the feel of this one, balance of bird and flowers, effective dof. In a perfect world, no blossom right behind the head. I could see the bird a sliver brighter

Cheers

Lovin' this one John the bird looks great - good details throughout, focus bang on..............the plant looks familiar - is it garlic mustard?

[Bill Dix]

Lovely shot, John. Flowers are nice and bird is posing well. Agree about the flowers behind the head, but the world is rarely perfect. Darks look OK to me, whites seem maybe a bit grey.
