Redstart
About the only thing I,ve done this year. - been incapacitated with a nasty skin problem. Hene lack of input this year- I appologise for that- everyone looks like they,ve been busy and I missed all the fine days !
I reckon this shot needs a little more "guts"- see what folks think
Nikon D7100
Sigma 50-500
800ISO 250th @f8
Nothing much done in PP apart from cropping.
Thanks for looking.

Very sorry to learn that you have been 'incapacitated' John, we missed you. A little mid-tone contrast on the bird would fix it IMHO. Best wishes, Ian.
A very nice portrait indeed John. I'd whack the contrast up by +10.
I'm sorry you have not been well and sincerely hope that you have made a recovery. Keep clicking young man
Hope you get better soon!! Beautiful subject and I love how it is posed atop the small perch. Yes to a bit more contrast, and I'd blend out the oof streak touching the breast. A head angled a few degrees our way rather than away would have been top. Well composed image.
Beautiful capture ,nice detail,like the BG,agree a bit more contrast,bit more head turn would have been the icing on the cake,but still wish it were mine.TFS.
Thanks all. Appreciated. Your views genearally in line with mine so at least my set up isnt too far off. Thanks again. Managed a coupleof pool hide sessions so may have something more to post from this year!
Cheers

Really nice image of a fav. bird of mine. Nice of him to pose so well for you. I would just clean up the bill a little taking those bits of food off. Hope you are mending well and look forward to some more shots from you.
