I love the bird pose and HA, colors are excellent, BG too.
The image could use more sharpening though.
It would be nicer if more untouched fruits were present,
but not too important IMO.

One of my favourite birds and one that was rare here this past winter. Nice head angle and BG. I'd prefer a touch more head room in the frame though.

Nice HA , colours and BG... a bit more room would be nice..

such a beautiful bird! their plumage is just so smooth! headturn looks good and sharpening seems to be right on the money.

not sure what the OOF background is but there seems to be some strange diagonal banding that seems a little distracting.

Hi,

thanks for the comments.

@ Scott Grant: the background are the bricks of a house, they were just a little bit to close so indeed you can see some banding but it don't really distract me.

kind regards
Lesley
