I like the perch, singing pose, angle, sharpness and BG. I would only try to get more details in the blacks, they are partially blocked and remove one of the catchlights.

Sweet image, love the perch and singing pose you captured here. Nice detail as well.

[Steve Canuel]

Handsome bird with nice detail. I like the perch and the BG color.

[Morkel Erasmus]

[Jim Crosswell]

Sharp image with interesting perch and nice BG!

[Paul Lagasi]

A lovely bird, both time in UK, I missed this species...nice sharp, composed image...I agree about the blacks but only on throat and belly, head to me looks fine...tks for posting it

[Juan Carlos Vindas]

What a lovely bird and BG! Love those lichens too! a bit more sharpening on eye would make this one better IMO.

[Simon Bennett]

Lovely pose, perch and background. Sharp too.

Thank you very much!
The blacks on the throat and belly, are partly in shadow, so I don't think I can do anything about them...The light was a little harsh.It would have been better if it were cloudy...I also have some shots from the same day, with a less harsh light, but not in this singing pose...:)

I've tweaked a little the image.Please let me know what do you think.
Thank you very much!
