Sorry for posting another woodswallow but this is the mate (Female) to the previous post.
The coloured front of the female is a paler mushroom than the male.

John:

This is lovely, excellent timing, complimentary colors in background. The flap of bark on this one is not as bright as the others, which helps IMHO.

The image is very bright on my monitor, perhaps just a touch dimmer would be better to my taste, but it is really close, and really nice!

I don't mind seeing these guys, great family action.

Great moment captured, I like the mood and interaction. I changed the midtone slider to 0.93 and increased saturation 6 points. What do you think?

I prefer this repost, but will obviously defer to John's mental comparision to the live scene.

Many thanks Axel and Randy. The repost looks to be a tad dark and too saturated on my monitor.
The breast tones are now looking more like the male rather than the paler tones seen with the female.

Maybe I should do another monitor calibration ;)
