Just wonderful details all around, great view of feet, killer BG and pose. TFS

Sorry Joe on my screen I am seeing hardly any detail,don't know what happened almost a blurred look to the pixels,Halo and lots of noise to the bird especially to the lower portion of the bird. Maybe neat image caused the problems. TFS

Hi Kevin, thanks for viewing and commenting. Looking at the image most likely I cropped the image too much trying to show the eyebrows which I think are unique. I guess the image quality did not hold up. Here is how I should have posted the image. Thanks Kevin.

Yes Joe greatly improved even the heavy noise under the tail is now gone.I know what you were trying to portray with the eyebrows. I hated to be negative but most of your photos are spot on and a joy to view.

Agree that the repost is a big improvement. I am constantly preaching against large crops . A bit of selective sharpening of the eyes would like improve it as it looks as if the sharpest focus is on the breast.

with love, arite
ps; what date?
