Really struggling for light at the moment and no sign of improvement so I am currently constricted to a few short sessions in the back garden.

Lovely look back pose Jon, and the perch fits the GT well. Sharpness is excellent, but the white balance looks off to me, quite a strong green/yellow cast.

Jon not sure that these eyes of mine would have picked up Mike's point but his repost does look better from a colour point of view,the rest looks excellent.

Hi Jon, the frame looks beautifully detailed. I also see that cast. It was the same as your WP image. After you calibrated, the WP looked much better. Even Mikes repost , although better, is still showing a cast on my calibrated monitor.

Very nice, maybe lose the two branches protruding down

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I am not surprised at the comments regarding the yellow/green cast. I did some correction at raw I suppose on reflection I could have done more in PS masking the bird. The raw file looked horrible but the light has been very odd i.e. very green yellow in the back garden recently. Had some sunshine today so hopefully I will be posting better over the next few days.
