Thanks Dave. I accept that the two images are technically mediocre but I like them.
When I was in China the way students were taught to paint was to reproduce an image that others had produced. I'm not sure that would create anything worthwhile.
I don't get out much these days so opportunities are somewhat few.
I did try using flash to get images of birds. I did this from the deck of the granny flat. Tried all different set ups. Ended up using multiple flash units, HS flash, strobes etc. In the end I got disillusioned with the whole enterprise and sold all but one of the flash units and strobes. Looking through old images I found this one which I liked:

I would appreciate a critique of this image. For me it has something, not sure what.
Thanks for taking the time to critique the original two photos, much appreciated
This one is infinitely better than the first two. Just wish the head was a bit sharper. I love the colors against the dark BG.
I saw an older Cambridge in colour discussion about that same image, discussing the moire in the legs.

Hello, Got this image: https://www.flickr.com/photos/167726...posted-public/ Sorry can't show photo here, don't know how. Anyway forget the photo it'swww.cambridgeincolour.com
Thanks for the comments Doug. Maybe I'm falling into the trap of remembering other things associated with taking the photos. I need to guard against that.The first has two things that jump out at me: blown whites and manmade objects. On the second image the exposure is much better overall but as the subjects face isn’t visible, there is no point of interest in the photo.
