    Tom- You have captured this beautiful bunting really well. I love the soft but bright lighting and the clarity, and the BG is really good and complementary to the bird. My only small nit is that there are at least three sensor spots on the image, which are easily removed.

    Hi John
    Thanks for the comments. I missed the sensor spots completely, they did not show up much on my monitor.
    I think I need to wear my specs more often lol

    Regards

    Tom,
    Very nice capture, the colors and details on your bird are great; love the soft pastel green background... For my taste, I would off center your subject in the frame.

    Subject a little centered for my taste, and it could use additional contrast (being careful not to blow out the brights on the perch). Otherwise very appealing image of this fella.

    Beautiful bird and great background. I agree that a little more contrast is needed.

    Another vote for more contrast in an otherwise very nice photo.
