This little charmer was playing with me by doing its best to hide!
Captured by a little stream that runs through the garden here in Ourique
NR to BG, resized and sharpened. Slight curves adjustment

Nice job on the comp. Love the perch and BG. The broken stem in the LLC is a bit distracting.
Thanks Alan - agree on that pesky stem
OK stick gone, decided to clean LLC completely
Excellent call by Alan on the stem. The repost is a definite improvement. Love the composition, pose and colours, Richard.
I love these furtive 'peekaboo' type images. I think the sharpening of the bird is a bit crunchie. A bit less might be better here IMHO.
Sweet shot. Repost is better for sure and you could probably crop just above it if you didnt want to remove it by cloning
Richard,
Repost is a big improvement. Love the green throughout and how it plays with the blues and yellows on the bird.
I agree with Adrian, it looks a bit oversharpened.

Repost is better than the original but I personally feels that they are still very distracting.
Re post nailed it, yep....definitely the "peekaboo" stlye image
