Johannes, I think you've got a wonderful image. Excellent Comp, exp, HA, sharp on the eye, great BG. I might want to darken the perch a bit. Lovely Bird in a lovely country!

[Arthur Morris]

Nice bird and perch. Overall a bit too light. I love the distant BKGR. The bird is surely a male with that tiny bill.

Wonderfull perch, textures, pose, BG and colors, light is a bit harsh IMO, but I like the shot despite that. Congratulations!

I like it, very nice perch and bird, BG also.
Very good!

Wonderful image Jóhannes and agreed about darkening the perch. Thanks for sharing and WELCOME! :)

Sweet image. Very nice bg makes it. Wish for a bit more contrast.

Great angle, perch, BG, sharpness and pose. To make it a bit darker you could adjust the midtones to about 0.9 or so. Keep them coming!

Thanks guys! :D - Yes, the light was very harsh, and it would probably look better if it was a tad darker... Thanks!
