Do you call them brambles? Here in Oz we call them blackberries. I've been catching pics of birds on them but nothing as clear and close as what you have. Lovely shot.

Looks great, I like the sharpness, pose, light, eye contact, BG and of course the perch. Composition looks good, too. If anything, I might tone down the whites a little bit.

Great light, colors and sharpness. Perfect BG and fanstastic perch.
A really great shot of this Great Tit.

Lovely setting, and I like the pose, soft light and colours. Overall sharp, and what a great BG too.

Well done! I love the way the bird appears to be plucking one of the berries. Very sharp, perfect exposure & sharpness, beautiful background, nice eye contact. My only suggestions would be to consider moving the bird & berries down a bit in the frame, if possible.

Fantastic lose, sharpness, BG and colors. Perch is great; love the foot grabbing that berry. I'd consider moving the set up a bit lower for a better angle with your hide. Nice work, Jon.

Perfect as presented! Love the pose, perch, sharpness, and BG. The berries are fantastic! If anything, I would create a clean edge where the lowest leaf touches the edge of the frame.

Nothing not to like here. Perch and bird are exquisite, as well as the lovely BG. Great pose and feather detail. A beauty just as presented!

Very good exposure with great detail in both black and white. Great pose and the berries adds to it.
