One must love them , for me the nicest songbird here in northern europe .
Well framed with nice colors , i would just watch the blacks .

I am OK with the BG. Would run some NR on it though.
I like the head tilt.
Wouldn't mind a bit more room for the tail and a bit less in front.
Nice feather details.

Hi John, certainly a bird I havent seen before. I do like the colours on this fellow, good head turn, and nicely separated from the BG. Another vote for a touch of NR on the BG.

Thanks people- have done a repost. I also thought today , looking at the image in a fresh light that the head was bit harsh so I,ve dropped it a bit. See what you think
Cheers

Great shot John I like the repost except it looks like you lost a tad of saturation in the orange

Cheers Glen
Yes I thought the original was a bit saturated - easily fixed back again.
Thanks
John
