    Another shot from the back garden, I brushed over the sloes to reduce the highlights.
    All C&C welcome.

    Now you're talkin'! This is the best of your backyard series so far IMO. Techs, comp, perch, BG, even a perfect HA...all there:) A small suggestion would be to eliminate the whitish object caught on the chin, but all else is A-1!!

    I agree with Daniel ... this is a great capture... The whitish object doesn't bother me at all... the only very minor complain ...well not complain :-) I am not so sure about the background which goes from rather bright in the lower left corner to pretty dark in the lower middle part of the image... My eyes always go back to the bright left lower corner... but this may be just me.... Either way great picture

    There is always hope :-) ... at least this is what keeps me clicking with some birds.

    Jonathan, this is a great capture. The HA ,BG and the perch work really well.

    Tack sharp Jonathan, and I like the overall setting. I like the pose with the raised foot on the berry, and what a cool BG.
