        It's very difficult to fault this one Greg. I agree with all the reasons above. It's not a nit pick but IMHO I'd change the colour of the blue post to something a bit more subdued - and straighten it. Also some noise reduction on the BG. That's it - nothing major, it's a beautiful image.

        My memory's not as sharp as it used to be.

          Now you’ve made it go rusty!.. and they are never straight.

          I definitely agree that it's better with the post colour changed. not so worried about the noise or tilt in this case.

        I'll reserve my thoughts on your edit but I will explain the coloured droppers around the Arboretum. (The birds love them to sit on by the way).

        The Blue ones mark the position of all our irrigation fittings, taps etc. Below them is a cover where the fittings are found and we are able to mow over the covers or around where they are proud of the ground.

        Silver/galvanized ones are used along with the tree guards to keep the wildlife from eating the new growth. Galvanized so they don't go rusty.

        Red ones are used all over the park to mark Trig/GPS points so that tree positions can accurately be positioned and documented. Birds and Bird Photographers love them all and are popular spots to catch sitting birds with uncluttered surroundings.

        For the purists.. we also have trees with branches that at this time of year are still bare enough to spot a bird sitting in a more natural setting. Of course even those can have coloring on them which may distract from the subject matter at hand.

          Thanks for the explanation of the colours Greg. If you want me to delete my edit, just let me know. I like the bird in the branches BTW. The colours and BG are excellent!

          No by all means leave your edit as it gives another persons perspective on how the image might be improved. I always welcome CC, but as I’ve said many times before, reserve the right to disagree.. (as everyone should do).
