WOW! What a wonderful opportunity you had and you made the most of it.
I like the BG, the weathered post and the perky pose.
The side lighting works quite well but would have loved to see more light on the tail.

Wonderful image. Very sharp, great job hand holding. Love the perch and the bg. The green bg makes the birds color pop. Lovely.

Hi Shane, lovely pose, and I like the colours on this fellow. I quite like these weathered posts for perches, and you have a nice clean BG.

The only thing that could have improved this image is a little better angle but besides that it looks Beautiful.. A few thorns aren't going to get in your way are they
Very nice Shane

Very nice pose ad IQ -- good work! The shadows on the post might have gone a little blue but no big deal. It's a very pleasing color palette.
-
Thanks guys haha those thorn bushes are nasty pieces of work.
Yes i noticed the shadows going blue. Its the same in the raw file. Any idea why that happens?

It's the white balance -- our brains correct it but there is a lot of blue in shadows if there is sky or water around to reflect it into shaded areas. Tweaking the Temp (and often also the Tint) sliders in raw conversion will correct it to whatever extent desired. Sometimes you can also resort to saturation of just the blues in the HSL section. All a judgment call.
-
Thanks for the info will look at redoing the raw conversion
Any idea if adding teleconvertor could cause this? I am using the 1.7x tc which apparently is not that good. Just wondering if this could be an effect

I can't think how it would have a direct effect on color, but if the camera is on auto WB, the less range of color it sees in a scene, the less good its guess at WB. So the narrower field of view in a telephoto shot might, to some extent, make the guess a little worse. That could vary a lot from scene to scene.
-
Thanks again. I have always used AUTO WB. May have to start learning how to set that correctly ;)
-
Auto is fine 99% of the time. Always tweakable in raw conversion. The presets are often terrible -- you can see them in action by clicking through them with a raw file open.
Setting a specific balance is for when you want a set of shots under the same lighting to match in WB exactly (think an event), but it's often better to dial in the best setting on one file and just sync it to the set.

Excellent image. Every thing is perfect.
