I like the head angle and great looking bird you found The one oof branch in the bg is competing for my attention Great going at low shutter speed !!!!!

[Judy Lynn Malloch]

Amazing sharpness and detail for such a low shutter speed and I have to agree with Alfred about the OOF branch but wonderful eye contact. Thanks for sharing Arsdel.

[Fabs Forns]

Beautiful bird and great job with the flash to freeze him.

If it's OK with your ethics, it should be easy to get rid of the OOF branch.

Big welcome to BPN, we will try to make your experience here worth while :)

Hello and Welcome!

The details and exposure works very well. I think the dark BG really helps your main subject pop. I do see a little noise but nothing mayor.

A handsome bird and the fill flash was just right. Lots of sharp detail especially at 1/25th! I wonder if shooting from either a slightly higher or lower angle would have eliminated the light and dark background color seperation from the center of the frame behind the bird.
