I took this picture in one of my morning photo walks... I love the color of the background since I saw it first time... the detail in the twigs and leaves of the tree... the silhouette of the bird... because there was just one... and I panned to do something... Still I think I need to learn a lot to do something like this... but I keep trying...

Thanks in advance for your comments

Beautiful... the colour is superb, Irma. Love the DOF as well - the background branches add a nice touch.

Beautiful detail and composition and the colours are also very pretty. No critique here!

Lovely light!!!

Thanks for your comment Mitch...

This has superb coloring. This photo is super as-is. Really excellent tonal qualities.

I would also experiment with tighter crops to see if you can make a second or a third offering out of it as well.

This is not to imply that this is an improvement on your original - it is not. I often like to do multiple interpretations of the same basic shot for my own satisfaction - and maybe you might want to as well.

I like very much your idea of making more than one interpretations of the same picture...

Thanks a lot for your comment and advice...
