beautifully rendered, shame some of the branches are a little "in the way"

Very pretty bird and tack sharp on the eye where it should be. But that crop across half the body is a killer IMHO. A vertical image would not only have been stronger including the whole bird but it would have been stronger yet making better use of the framing of the "y" the bird is in.

Beautiful capture, but not the strongest in terms of relevance for me.

why hello there, colourful birdy! You are certainly above!
