Its a really nice pose, but it is let down by some noise and softness (maybe just pushed too far in editing?)

Hi Paul
Thanks for stopping to take a look and commenting, very much appreciated.
I had to crop it a far bit and brighten up the front of the bird.
I'll keep trying
All the best
Paul

Hi Paul

I like the simplicity of this shot of one of our more common birds.

Mate I enjoy your images immensely. Have you extracted or changed the background in this one? Something just not ringing right about it.

Perhaps too much cropping and resizing has made this noise.

These little birds make great photographic subjects even if they are looked upon as being plain, but they are not the easiest, they are small and flighty! so well done Paul, just keep at it.

Hi Bev
Thanks for stopping to take a look and commenting, very much appreciated.
They are a nightmare to capture and get into focus, been trying out other things and increased shutter speed, seems to be working a little bit better.
All the best
Paul
