    Lovely portrait captured here! Love the perch and colours of the image. I would maybe run another noise reduction on the background.

    Well done.

    Another winner, Chris. What a pretty bird. Killer perch, bg, pose and comp. Exposure is perfect and the soft light helps a lot. TFS.

    Lovely all around with a great perch, BG, angle, light and a lot of DOF on your bird. Love the intricacies of the perch and all the details in your feathers.

    Chris:

    Cute bird, great perch, pleasant BG, sharp, well exposed.
    I do see some noise in the BG.

    Overall, perhaps a 1/4 or so brighter for my tastes, but very nice as is.

    Cheers

    Love the stonechat great pose and details - a fine image. I have slight reservation over the background - maybe reduce the yellows a little?

    Beautiful detail and fine BG which compliments the subject very well. Might run a bit of NR on the BG.

    Hi Chris, Good detail on the plumage, and I like how its being blown by the wind. Well exposed on the chat, good colours throughout, and you have some lovely perches in your area.
