    Hi Jon, a nice a clean image, albeit not having the wings over the leaf might have been better in an ideal world.

    Colours appear to have a bias to the reds, but I think you can get more definition out of the subject personally. Colours are subjective, but the light does appear to have been quite bright judging on the leaf. Watch the halo on the underneath LHS and did you add to the RHS of the leaf, DoF looks odd, very soft. To me the space above is too much and having more below balances the crop.

    Not sure this is the feedback you are looking for....

    A nice frame of this darter. Great background. The diaganol perch adds a nice touch.

  4. Thanks Jonathan Ashton thanked for this post
