Here is a greenfinch in a slightly more pleasing pose, when I saw it going to the end of the branch I just kept willing it to raise it's left leg and put it just there - and it did!

Hi Jonathan,
I knew you had another image of this bird. I love it! The leg up is terrific.
IQ, light, BG colors get 10 out of 10.
Eye looks really good. Did you do some eye doctor work? (Which is fine- just wondering)
I would like to see you clean up the broken end of the perch and add a little more room on the RHS.
Still lovely as is,
Gail

Just Smashing. A perfect picture in terms of techs. And the perch is so beautiful. The white flowers really enhance the image totally.

Nice one Jon. Bird etc /techs spot on but the abrupt end to the perch grags my eye a little.
Cheers

First of all the perch and pose are just blowing me away. LOVE those white flower esp against the green BG. You have great details in your bird. I only wish the bird were a tad smaller in the frame.

Beautiful image Jonathan. IMO I would just add some space to the top and right. Love the pose, BG and perch.

Thanks for the C&C everyone, much appreciated, the eye was brightened slightly. (Quick mask, invert then a brightness layer followed by a slight burn on the pupil).
