    Unfortunately the days are getting short enough, I brought out the flash last evening.

    Dan, good diagonal perch and pose, and the flash has exposed him nicely. I like the dark green BG, and would remove the flash catchlight in the eye.

    Nice and sharp and the flash has lifted him nicely from the BG, Dan. Agree with Stu on a bit of eye doctor work. Could maybe pull back on some of the sharpening a bit.

    Challenging bird to photograph, as they rarely seem to sit still. I think Tony hit the nail on the head with his critique; slightly oversharpened with a too-prominent catchlight from the flash. I might try warming the color temperature a bit.
