    I like the look back pose, colourful bird, sharpness and clean BG. I wish we had this kind of Starling over here. Nice image Jonathan.

    Hi Jon, you have nailed the colours on the starling so well here. The light looks nice and soft, and I like how the curve of the perch meanders across the bottom of the frame. That BG isnt bad either.
