Wow! that first shot is outstanding. Of course the second shot isn't bad either. I love the shot framed with the red berries.

Very, very good. Especially the first one with the awesome perch! If this is a crop, I would recrop and give it just enough room to avoid the far right twig from weaving in and out of the frame like this. Great colours and perfect BG...

Hell's flames, they're good!

If you'd just posted no. 2 I'd have been hugely impressed - but that first picture is just stunning!

I think Daniel makes a good point about the crop, but even so, I'd be doing cartwheels right now if I'd taken that picture..!
