    I love the subject, its' pose, and the perch it is on. Neat touch with the pollen-covered bill (thanks for that info!). I do find the BG a bit problematic though, I feel that opening up the aperture would have smoothed it out more, and the flash has also affected it with some reflections and what appears to be a shadow below the subject.

  3. Thanks Peter Dexter thanked for this post

    Hi Peter, I like the pose, and that bill sure looks like it could do some damage if used in the wrong way. Well exposed on the blacks, and I like the hint of coloured iridescense on the wing.

    I use neat image and feel you could easily rectify the noise in the BG.

    Very nice shot.
    I really like the pose, great perch, and nice details.
    Smoothing the background or running NR should help smooth the background.
    Well done.
