Hi Patrick and welcome! Just wanted you to know that I edited your post to only display your first posted image. We limit things to 1 image per post to facilitate image critiques. You can always post the second image tomorrow.

The Grey Bushchat is a new bird for me and it's great to see him here. I wish that the bird were sharper in the image to really give us detail on his feathers. Is that some type of palm or fern that is giving the interesting patterns of green in the background? I keep my use of the clone tool to a minimum, but in this case I would be very tempted to clone out the whitewash underneath the bird. ;)

Hi Patrick!

Welcome to BPN! Maximum image size is 800 pixels on the longest side just so you know for next time.

Very cool bird! Agree with Judd but let me just add the bird is a little small in the frame. A good crop here would help this image quite a bit.

Lets see some more...and remember the majic number is 800 pixels. :D
