    Hey Richard,
    Nice species. Looks a bit soft on the face but for me, the BG is just too busy and bright. While the swirly thing is cool....just seperates the image for my tastes. Must have been an excellent experience.

    I like the out of the box image design. The problem is that sharpest focus is on the hanging vine leaving the bird soft (and then oversharpened.)

    How big a crop?

    Thanks Roman and Arthur

    I did crop pretty heavily at 50 or atad more, away from the file atm on Macbook.

    It was indeed great to see these little ones; they are around but tend to swiftly move in and out of thick foliage and one doesnt get a clear shot very often.
    I think I do have better files but was thinking about a bit different image, sometimes it works, sometimes not (as you know) but Arthur seems to quite like it!

    I must keep a check on my sharpening as seem to be overdoing it recently; I will go back to raw and have another go.
    As usual appreciate your comments
