Hi Cecil,

It's a superb shot . . Great detail and very sharp image . .
Perfect focus on the eye . .
Lovely composed . .

Tfs,
Tjutjut

yes, that is a perfectly timed shot! :-) the pose is really great as well as the colors and the sharpness.
superb job & best wishes, thor.

Great pose from the bird, and great timing by you to catch it. Bird is well separated from the blurred background, image is sharp where it needs to be. To me colours look a little grey and lacking in contrast, perhaps a quick tweak of contrast would solve this...

Sharp details, great timing indeed to get the nut in its beak like this and a strong composition. A really good capture of a beautiful bird.
Thanks for sharing
Mark
