Very good John, I like the way the bird seems to be looking directly at you, wondering what you are up to.

Lovely setting and pose. Just a tad large in the frame for me, suggest a little noise reduction on the background and desaturate the image a little.

[Mike Hitchen]

A nice shot, John with a striking pose.

As for the leaves, I like them as they seem to add a 'framing' for the bird.

[John Robinson]

Thanks all.

Great capture John. Very 'natural' looking image. The details on the bird are perfect. Well done
