lovely shots love the perch
I like the images and the backgrounds really set the birds off with a real Autumnal feeling. I agree that the BT is too central. not too sure on your crop as the bird is now in the lower portion of the frame and facing down out the image.
I have attached how I would crop this image by adding some canvas to the bottom of the frame to lift the bird so that it faces into the picture. Please remove if you are not happy with me adding to the thread.
A definite improvement Stuart with the crop
I agree John your edit adding the canvas at the bottom for the bird to look down into does make sense
Excellent images - I am so jealous of your clean backgrounds that set off the birds so well.
Like it a lot better now stuart, that is the crop I had in mind.
I love the Goldie and the clean backgrounds
How can I view the EXIF?
