What a beautiful bird, John. No nits from me, thank you for sharing.

[Jim Crosswell]

I like the dark setting, eye clarity and intent stare. I would add a little up top composition wise. Nice image John.

[John Robinson]

Thanks
Jim- No more canvas left on the top I,m affraid . Would have to stretch or add some in.- Not my forte.
Cheers

Hi John, I really like the detail and colours on this fellow, sharp with good DOF. Nicely separated from the foliage BG, and if anything, I would just neaten up the eye a touch.

[William Dickson]

Lovely capture John. Great detail on the bird and a nice pose. Never seen one of those for a long time. Thanks for sharing.

The bright twig must've been to the left of the wing as I see some repeating patterns there.
If you do use Photoshop, the content-aware fill tool is quite good in these kinds of scenarios.
Wonderful image with excellent sharpness and detail.
Thanks for sharing John.

[John Robinson]

Yes Akos- I see whatyou mean.
I don't have photoshop. I use Paint Shop Pro 7 which I got free with a camera magazine 10 years ago.
Cheers
John
