    Default Silvereye

    This is a common little white-eye found across southern and eastern Australia. Quite difficult to shoot as they are always on the move, rarely out in the open and are not particularly interested in playback. Thanks for looking, Greg.

    Very nice bird, with good pose and clean BG. Perch is also good, I wish the eye was a bit more in focus!

    I think this guys is as parallel to the image plane as you can get! Very nice choice of perch (set up?) to compliment the colors of the bird.

    Cool looking bird and I love the lichen.
    Seems a little "crunchy" to me; perhaps over-sharpened?
    There is white line under the branch on the right (spider web) that you might want to remove.

    Nicely done as noted above. Ditto on the crunch/slightly over-sharpened look as per Henry. I like the BKGR and the complimentary lichens.
