Goldcrest.
One from today's session. I,ve posted it as a pic with what you might call a "busy" background!! I cleaned most of the leaves out but the pool was full again within half an hour with hardly any water showing.
So I left it as is. Can't do much about it anyway with the leaf drop and wind. Couple of really bright yellow leaves cloned out.
Please view the biggie

Wow this is pin sharp. The sharpness on the big image is amazing! I don't mind the leaves John, in fact I think I like them.

I like the leaves and smaller in frame than your usual, really Autumnal image and as Oscar says very sharp

Thanks both. The other thing I thought was that the leaves gave an idea of how small these birds are!

First thing I thought on opening this - how small it looks against those leaves!! I'd maybe take a little off the bottom though.

Hello John.

Nice autumn feel to this and your right the leaves do show just how small these bird are.
