    Hey Jeroen,
    I could see this with a tighter comp......either all around or as more of a pano with some off the bottom.....but I also think this is excellent as presented! Fantastic perch too!

    Hi Jeroen,
    I think the perch and BG are superb. Are you another Alan Murphy in the making?!! I feel the bird has been a bit oversharpened or somehow overprocessed. I'm not quite sure what is wrong and perhaps someone else can be more specific.

    I agree tighter would be a step up. Nice detail and a very cool perch

    Very nice choice for perch and bg. and pose is excellent as well. I see what Gail means. Something about the bird seems a bit off.

    Hi Jeroen, I actually the comp as is, and what a cool perch full of lichen. You have great open BG there. I think what the others are seeing is maybe lack of DOF on the little guy.

    Lovely perch and bird but I find it way too big for this little one. I do like the bird's pose, super clean bg and the light you got here.

    I like the pose, perch and BG. I find the perch a little too big as well but still a beauty. Well done Jeroen!
