Technically good image- nice and sharp, good exposure and your PP is good.
I wish the eye did not have the nictitating membrane over it and was fully open and the branch near the tail is unfortunate.
I do love the female RWBB. So pretty and often overlooked for the boys!
Thanks for your work on my puffin!!Always appreciate help with my images,
Gail
She's a beauty, and well captured. I like her pose and the perch. A tiny nit for me is my eye is drawn to the small shadow on the left lighter branch. Agree with Gail, that it's nice to see the less frequently posted female RWBB.
Hi Joe, Crisp, great colors, and I like the perch bc of its scale. I also like the oof flower head in the LL, maybe smooth a few hard lines, but it is a terrific RWBB image.
