What fantastic eye detail, - very good shot. Does benefit being slightly brighter, and a little sharper as in the mod, - which is also cropped.

Great shot, they are a beautiful bird with their black cap, we have many every day in our garden by the bird feeding tray, they come down with the rooks.

An excellent image, one where the main subject stands out extremely well and is very nicely composed too.
