Ridiculous capture - amazing colors an lighting. Top marks.

mmm... I love birds and I liked your photo! +9/9

Womderful capture!

great timing.
good work.

Excelent photo!

S.P.

Very nice capture of the moment!

Would still suggest that you heal that middle/left weed and dito just below middle on righthand side border. Makes it a tiny bit busy otherwise imo.

Thanks for the feedback everyone.

@moser

I did notice the weed to the left but decided to leave this one unphotoshopped which is something that is been drilled in to me as iam studying natural history photography at university. Wildlife images should be left as nature intended ;-)

Fantastic image. You did a good job here.

Very well done! Perfect timing!

@Sublime69: Stay by your belief...

Awesome capture!

Looks like a Dunnock (though I have never seen it with so much yellow in the base of bill). They are also called Hedge sparrows, a bad name as they have nothing to so with real sparrows. The thin bill suggest they are insectivores, not granivores.

You have captured an unusual position of a shy bird. Pity that the most important part, the head, is underexposed and shaded, with no shiny point in the eye (a careful use of flash could help here). The busy background has been mentioned. I'd crop a little from the bottom.

Wonderful earthy colors. I agree that the shadowed face is unfortunate. Here's a link to this bird ...
