    Congratulations on what you describe as being your best image of this species! The perch, despite being a bit thick, is full of nice character (lichen, moss, spider web). BG is a bit distracting on the brighter spots, and I do wish the subject's head was notcocked away.

    Ram, well exposed on the bird, those colours look good. I agree you could blend in the brighter areas of the BG, and wonder how it would look with not such a strong blurring.

    hey no problem Stuart it does look like its blurred i think its because the perch was far off from the clutter behind it and the aperture was F4 thats the reason for the blur effect .
