    I mentioned in an earlier post about the territoriality of the european robins and promised to post a image of one getting to grips with a greenfinch. There are a few things that I would have improved, but I wasn't really set up for action at this time.

    Standard PP, plus added a little canvas above and removed some sticks and rubbish.

    I like this blur and the splashes of colour Ben. Nice layout too. The only thing I might try is to lighten up the large smudge at the upper right (caused by the wing blur I think). Well done and well timed.

    Thanks John. I was pleased with the dynamism here.

    How much of the wing blur smudge would you lighten? Just the kind of separate smudge in the very top right corner? It perhaps also got emphasised when I added a little canvas.

    This would be a bit hit in the OOTB forum...I'm going to copy it down there! The slight blur of the action is really nice. I think if you had managed to get the face of the one bird totally in focus it would have been even stronger. Still - those splashes of yellow and orange are beautiful!

    Ben, I really like the way this one looks. John mentioned the smudge and I agree, I would just lighten the top area of the smudge. Very nice painterly look to this! Well done.

    Ben, I love the blurred action in this capture. Agree with lightening up the smudge too. Nice work!

    Thanks Denise and Andrew,

    Here is what John posted as his suggestion of smudge removal in the original thread of this in ETL.
