A tiny bit of colour...

... on a grey day.

Good catch having them out in the open and not hidden in the foliage like the ones in our Park

[Isac]

Thanks mate. There are always lots of them in the massive palm trees around the lakes here but I rarely see them in these trees - so it was a surprise.

Interesting image Isac with the curving branches and twigs with the small spot of colour. I like the minimalist feel to it.

What do you think about removing the bird on the right and the twigs at lower right.

[Isac]

I would only remove the lower twigs. The bird on the right was a part of the conversation with the other 3 (although viewers wouldn't know that). Thanks for your ideas, much appreciated Alan.

first thing I thought when I saw this was that the lower right bird didnt belong. not engaging and on a branch leading out of the frame etc.
not withstanding that you shot is as it was part of the converstation, I agree with Alan's suggestions. you could also crop below and left and retain a minimalist feel. if feeling real arty you could monochrome everything but the birds too

I suppose it is a slightly different story. I would think the title would decide whether ih lone bird goes or becomes the focus. I favoured the chop on first sight. but have no strong feeling for it.

Thanks for all your thoughts on editing guys. I suppose I could make lots of changes to B&W, twigs removal, cropping etc, but unfortunately I'm just too busy at this point in time organising the Hank Marvin Charity Gala Concert. The birds were having a lot to say and it was how I saw the event take place so on a personal level I wouldn't change much at all. I thought a better worded description may have been more appropriate like:
"Hey Jeffery, why don't you want to join us up here, it's definitely a better view?"
