That must be enormous! Nicely presented and an unusual image.

Thanks very much everyone, I'll look again at sharpening on subsequent posts, I tend to minimise it because I don't want to give the impression that...

Very nice image. Nice lines TFS

You're probably right on the contrast. I had to go back and check what I did with the raw file. I did bump the contrast more than usual for some...

I like the unique perch, details, clean BG and composition. I agree with removing the strand at touching the head. Nice image Ann.

I like the tight composition, dangling feet and agree with lifting up the blacks a bit. Nice image David.

Excellent image William! I like the pose, IQ, composition and sweet BG.

I like the diagonal line of the perch, two tone BG and composition. Nice image Joe.

A tough image to get for sure! Great pose and BG, well done Jonathan.

hi, what an amazing sight! charming. congratulations Daniel.

Hi Wayne, welcome to BPN!! Word of caution: bird photography is highly addictive so don't say we did not warn you.... The repost is an...

Lots to like here! Interesting perch - fun to study the shapes, textures, and lines. I agree about the sharpening thing (but you do too). I also...

Perhaps a bit more sharpening on the face, but man-o-man I love the pose and BG. Lol, DanK:t3

Wow, what a great nest that is! Such beautiful branches, and mosses adding texture and colour. I'm even liking the side-lighting here. Wonderful!

I may shoot 1500-2000 at a session... Nice, maybe some more sharpening. Remind me not to buy a used camera from you....

hi, very efficient. congratulations.

Hi David, very good. congratulations

Hi Jon, like a painting. both technique and detail are perfect. Congratulations

HI David ... nice incoming pose of the subject . One more vote for lifting the darkest darks . Needs more space , IMHO ; would go rather a...

Hi Jon ... very cool !!! Great work . TFS Andreas

You must be very happy to have the digital options .... otherwise it would be a very expensive way of shooting some birdies :bg3:

Hi Ann .... such a cool shot !!! Unique in some ways . Can only echo Jon´s thoughts about the technical aspect . Wonder what you have used to...

Great image Andreas, I especially like the POV and sense of movement here, as well as eye contact. Love the title:w3 Kind regards,

Hi Jon, I agree they look oversharpened and are... The TIFF was fine but i went back to sharpen the jpeg for web and went overboard, thanks for...

I like the pose and the colours look good. You could quite possibly lift the darkest areas a little if so inclined.

It's a very nice image but I have slight concerns over the white feathers - are they slightly blown and/or possibly slightly oversharpened?
