Mockers are such neat birds, which I had them in my yard. I like the birds pose quite a bit, I wonder if a bit more shutter speed would have helped here,to me the bird looks just a bit soft? very pretty bird.

Welcome Elmer! Agree that Mockingbirds are fun birds to have around. Nonda has a good suggestion to help you obtain a sharper image. If I didn't feel comfortable creating sharp images at 1/200 second I would have raised the ISO to 400 and then used a faster shutter speed. You might also want to work with something like a Color Balance adjustment layer to reduce the green color cast that is present in this image. See you around!
