    Sorry if this is becoming boring but widespread distribution of differing Covid variants dictates stay pretty local, I guess I am lucky I have had my initial vaccination so no complaints in view of the big picture.
    Image captured in the back garden, taken from my hide/blind.

    PS I am still confused, this is 1920px on the longer axis so I presume right click and open image in new tab.... because it doesn't fit properly in the original pane.
    Why is this likely to be better than an image 1800px by 1200px which could have been seen in the original view pane ..................can anyone tell me??? I don't get it.

    The details, colors, pose, perch and BG all off the charts. The feathers look natural and well detailed. Great framing and stellar canvas IMHO. TFS

    ps
    No apologies needed.... Keep those Backyard beauties coming...

    Yes I agree the details and sharpness are fantastic. The red branch goes well with the great background. TFS

    This is one of your better images lately, no apologies for any nice bird photo...colors are nice, like the perch, tail crossing it doesn't matter as the focus as you go right to the eye.. Nice one.

    Jon, delicately sharp, rich in color and love the red perch again.

    The dorsal look back is sweet. Nice comp and smooth bkg all make for a banger!
