Good job on the high contrast, blacks look good, the bill looks good but I am sure you could get a little more detail there.

Thanks very much for all the feedback everyone. I beg to differ regarding the blacks, I have looked again and I think it is fine. If anyone would...

Lovely frame with great HA and detail. At first I thought it looked a little too dark and too large in the frame, but after looking a few more times...

How nice to have such a friendly neighbor. (Although he does look just a bit sleepy here.) Lovely BG and perch, too.

Sweet frame with good eye contact.

Nice rising flight angle and wing position; lovely background. I find it refreshing to have some breathing room around the bird for once. But the...

All you needed was some rain, Jonathan. I like the original post. Having not seen this bird in person, I did a bit of research, and from what I can...

that's the difference between dime a dozen snap shots you see on facebook and a work of art. it's not easy but if you are interested in the latter...

OK thanks arash. I understand. Just don't think you have a photo you can post just because you caught a bird sitting in a tree. I understand. I...

Hi Justin before you focus on the techs, I'd find a condition that is better for photography, the settings were totally off here (f/16 1/320 sec etc....

This is a cool frame, I like the BG. the whitest whites could be toned down a touch. the image is a bit small on my screen, and although the BG is...

Thanks Mike. I really appreciate the comments. I'm trying to learn. I set at f/16 because I thought a higher f stop would take out some of the...

A nice sighting, and good to hear you possibly have further opportunities with these. Unfortunately as a quality avian shot the clutter is a real...

Very nice. The colors are beautiful.
