Excellent detail where it counts, Wayne. a wonderful look at the eye and I like the fact that it's not looking at you. It's a bit tight in the frame for my taste. I'd like a little more room on the right and maybe under the bird, give where it's looking.

The WB looks a tad warm throwing the colors off. Nice sharpness.

A pretty nice frame of the bird. I think the crop is too tight. There is also a pretty heavy magenta color cast.

Nice and sharp. Great pose too. The BG is somewhat busy with the twigs sticking up behind the bird and that may contribute to the tight impression. But, we get what nature offers us. Well done.

I see the magenta tint, too, but it's a nice pose and perch. Sharon
