    Lovely little bird. I find the body is oversharpened yet the eye and beak are a bit soft. What is on the beak? there appears to some artifacting around the beak. I think that the PP here is the main issue and with a bit of rework could be lovely,

    Thank you Gail good sugestions. A lot of these small birds I've photographed seem to have one thing or another on their beak, even hummingbirds. Probobly should take the time to clean them up in PP.

    Hi Peter, lovely colours and pose, agree with Gail re the sharpening on the body. Some selective sharpening of the eye and head area will help the image a lot.
