Sweet bird and a beautiful comp. Nice work!

[Juan Aragonés]

I like the composition a lot Ramón. the bird pose is fantastic and very well located in the frame. Really nice light and perch. I would suggest another round of USM to the bird for a better web presentation. Not sure but the bird doesn´t looks tack sharp and maybe it is due to the impact of the 2XTC on the image quality. Whatever the reason this one is a great image for sure!

Very nice shot, Ramon. It is lovely to see that perch in it's natural habitat - in NZ it is a noxious weed! BG, bird, light, composition all spot on.
