Very sharp, lovely bg and like that perch very much !!! Would punch the blacks just a bit for more pop. Excellent and love the mood !!!

Ditto Afred, the perches you guys get in the North are fabulous! Personally, a wee bit more room below the bottom of the branch will improve the visuasl impact for me.

Details, look-back pose, BG and soft light look very good. Another vote for a wider crop and a tad more contrast? I might fix that bright spot on the beak.

[Dave Leroy]

Lovely shot. I really like the nice soft colours and feel to the photo. Nice pose and perch adds to it. Nicely done. Dave

Thanks for the feedback everyone,I did boost contrast - but I will have another look see.

As far as I remember this looks almost identical to an image you showed in here recently.
