    Excellent Craig, they have lovely colors and the red eye make them even more interesting. I like the composition, perch and esp the stretched wing. I would try tone down whites, good work TFS.

    Nice cuckoo! very nice and clean BG, good eye contact and perch. The whites seem to be hot on belly/breast.

    Great looking bird, and how nice of it to offer an interesting pose such as this stretch. Good BG, and sharp details. The blacks look good, but yes the whites are quite hot...this is worth revisiting the raw file to convince the details in there to show up. I'd crop some off the bottom too.

    Great to capture a bird actually doing something Craig - love the stretched out wing and composition. The whites also look a bit hot on my monitor.

    Thanks for your comments
    I think I know why the whites are a little hot, thanks for pointing this out.
