Hi,

Nice shot.
Good close up and colours.

Sharpness here is most excellent.

PS. I see no WS.

Hi Vic,

Nicely captured good details.
One inch less on top and on right will be a stronger composition.

Cheers

For a person that does not specialise in Bird photography this is superb Vic, great composition that is uncluttered by tree branches, such fine detail on the bird with perfect lighting .. very well done indeed ... deserving of far more critiques in my opinion

Hi Vic,

Excellent shot, your zoom lens in massive, it must weigh a ton! but it is well worthed as the shot is beautiful. TFS
