Taken in my garden with an 80-200mm EF lens.
Could probably do with geting a longer zoom..!!
The light was really good today.

Hello, Neil. I always enjoy bird pictures with some blossom, and I like yours too. It's beautifully natural and your sky is excellent. It's a shame that you could not get the bird's tail into the frame.
My eye is inevitably drawn to the out-of-focus blossom on the left, so I have done a modification where I cropped, cloned some other blossom into the top left, and selectively sharpened the starling's head.
Pamela.
All, many thanks for the comments. They are all very gratefully received.
Pamela, I try not to mess around with the shots too much with Photoshop. I've not really got into cloning. Just a little sharpening and adjustment of light and contrast. But your mod does look a lot better than the original. Many thanks for the effort.
Regards
Neil
