    Beautiful autumn setting! Good comp - the leaves at left nicely fill in that area for balance. I'd be tempted to remove the smaller of the two catchlights, but this is pretty nicely done overall, showing that not only fresh spring foliage can work well.

    This is really nice. Beautiful details on the bird and the brown leaves work really well with the green background. I never remove extra catchlights so am fine with that. I do wish that the leaf wasn't covering the right (our) foot.

    Very nice. Bird looks great, good BG and exposure.
    I am not crazy about the branch that is in lower frame with the OOF leaves. I would prune the 2 lower leaves off.
    Did you have to work on the whites of cheek? They look a bit gray.

    Thanks very much everyone glad you liked it. Gail no extra work on the whites other than highlights (no cloning/patching max 247 at Raw).

    Hi Jon, I like the overall setting here, and the bird is nicely framed between the foliage. I like the pose, well placed in the frame, and thats a lovely clean BG from your hide.

  8. Thanks Jonathan Ashton thanked for this post
