I think shooting through the double glazing sadly has diffused the nice detail you would have got here Kim, but you did get the shot. Saying that, I do like the colours and position within the frame, although some might prefer it flipped, ie looking right to left. Still curious why you are shooting at -0.67EV? :confused:

Kim,

I like the framing and space around the Redwing, but the window has taken it's toll on the image quality.

Shame about the loss of detail, but other than that still a nice image. I like the composition and the setting. :wavey:

I agree - it is a bit soft - was poor light - and it was taken in a rush - but then I did think it was pretty!! Sorry guys :biggrin:

I think its ok Kim. Bit "gentle" maybe , but I quite like the feel to it You could beef the sharpness up easily if you wanted.
I,ve never have a problem with double glazing.
Probably not wise to mention it :biggrin:
cheers
