A bird in the hand is worth

One in the bush A busy bg but I quite like this one. Surprised it aint a Robin?

Beautiful I rather like the busy background, it places the bird where he should be. A site better than my efforts! I seem to get what you have in your background in front of my targets! How do you persuade them to pose in front?

Nice detail and perfect catchlight. Good work Rich

I love the pose & detail but the shot looks a little flat and has a magenta caste on my monitor.

Nice detail, and great eye. Sometimes backgrounds can't be helped, and birds always look good where they live anyway.

Nice pose and setting Rich - well caught.

Thanks all for the comments. An interesting point Donna and I can see what you mean. The only thing I can think of is the reddish brown coloured shed behind the bush giving the image that cast :shrug: Have done a rough and I mean rough cut and paste just on the bird with no other adjustment, let me know what your think Donna It might pay me to reduce the red down as it should not effect the bird too much.
