Nice image not familiar with the bird. Like the branch with the buds. Maybe a little darker and the subject would pop more from the light background. Just saying. TFS

Thanks Kevin - not a bad idea.

Hi Jon ... nicely timed starting pose , guess ProCapture was in use .
IQ held up quite good with the larger crop . Colors and tones looking good to me and are natural in the subject .
Going darker in the subject or overall not a good idea IMHO ... I do think the twig is already too dark in the shadow side .
Color matter of taste , but I do think the sky is too much on the magenta side ....
Anyhow difficult to get a decent sky under the circumstances

TFS Andreas
