perched on a rose

a need for color

Great color against the black background. Beautiful composition. If the bird was in focus and sharper I would give this a 7/7.

the colours are very nice. However, it lacks sharpness, detail, and there is a fair amount of pixelization. Cheers, Micheal

Thanks guys for taking the time to comment; i realise the focus problem, when i do these bird photos i prefocus manually and hope the bird will stay in the right place long enough for me to make the exposure; i myself am focused on the composition and loose in the details. i redid this with an unsharpened mask and it does look better, but not one of my best.
