    I like it. In a perfect world i suppose a less central position of the bird and a touch of flash would improve the shot but i think those shots of very small birds are hard to take-well done

    This one is cropped at 6mp, I have the 10mp raw on the cf card so that can be fixed. Secondly a flash gun is on the shopping list....

    I noticed that myself though the extent of my p.p goes to cropping and turning my photos into black and white
    :-). Anyone can have a go fixing it if they want.........

    Just a quickie, could be brighter again but I think it would take away from the picture. Curves to brighten and saturation raised to add some colour as it was quite dull, obviously due to natural daylight and not the shot, also clarification to give a bit more depth.

    I would agree flash would have scared the bird.
