A good looking bird Grahame - I like the aquamarine blue in the background with the yellow. Unfortunately, the high angle side lighting makes for a harsh and contrasty image - I think it would look better if you toned down / cloned out the shadow of the bill on the breast. I might put a bit of canvas back on the left to make room for the "virtual tail feathers". There seems to be a few technical issues - there is a definite line around the back and tail of the bird - sharpening artifact? The strange vertical line right in front of the bird's bill looks unnatural - is that the added canvas?
Have to agree with Jeff, but liking the clear eye in this one, these itsy bitsy birds are no easy target
Cute bird and nice colours, but I agree with the boys on the few issues risen. Enjoy the new gear!
Thank you so much for your comments It is so hard to critique your own pictures I am working on all comments
