A nice crop but image quality has been compromised by the large crop (and you left a small bit of the leaf) :) A bit of sharpening of the bird might either improve it or make it worse. The BKGR is just OK> Was this image created at a feeder?

Hi Arthur

Have to say bird was taken from hide at feeders but bird was not on one; I noticed one is supposed to say :confused:

Hi Richard - Nice comp, as Arthur noted image quality is compromised here because of size of the crop. Are you shooting in RAW? The whites could use some help from the ACR Recovery Slider. I would run noise reduction on the full image here as well.
Keep em coming,

Hi Dave
running through Camera Raw 5 again. Ran noise reduction on whole image.appreciated ;) I will certainly keep posting though I get hammered a lot lol
Cant repost as I guess not allowed; keeps bumping image to 52 kb so wont bother

Setting up an attractive perch in front of a pleasing BKGR is a good option when working at a feeder.

It's the o-o-f foreground leaf in the center that is the image killer :)

Hi Arthur
Very true sir; shame it will have fallen off now too.
But I do like the bird :)
