Good detail and nice colouring so I guess you had good light to work by

A very nice selection Isac. My picks of these are #1 and #5.

I suggest you try an auto curves adjustment on #1 and #2 as I'm seeing a bit of an orange/brown cast.

I like the framing in #3 but the cleaner background in #1 makes the difference for me. The bird is also looking out of the frame.

#3 has good eye contact, detail and pose but I prefer a natural perch, but they do perch where they want.

The angle in #4 is a bit high but good detail in the bird.

#5 has good detail, no clutter and good separation from the background

Thanks for all that Alan. I did a colour correction and re-cropped the brown honeyeater.
Can't help the perch. I guess the fence is showing how well they adapt to suburbia.

Nice shots. I like your re-edited shot of the Honeyeater.

Thanks David. The first post was probably a bit rushed and after the advice from Alan I do prefer the fix.
