Bird is loverly with a very nice pose and look back head angle. Bird is slightly oversharpened. The setting is unfortunate. I am fine with a weathered stump fence post, rusty barbed wire, and even weathered rope. But with everything in fresh plumage plus the metal stuff this one cannot work for me.
And the fact that that is where the bird was sitting does not make it a pleasing image.

I appreciate that you are not enchanted with the location, the little buggers wouldnt move elsewhere lol
I cant do much with that and thought I would take the shot anyway so I am glad you liked the bird.
Art -yeah probably flashed the jpeg a bit to much avec sharpening.
