I like the eye contact and wing position. The bird looks a bit oversharpened and there seems to be a slight magenta cast. Do you have the most recent firmware installed?

[Joel Eade]

Nice detail, I don't see the magenta cast but the body maybe a little too sharp. Overall very nice, I like the crop too.

[Ben Egbert]

Looks good to me, I don't see a magenta cast, but then I never do. Someday I am going to learn how to spot color cast.

[Kerry Perkins]

Axel, I did install the firmware upgrade but the camera does still have a slight tendency toward magenta in the darker areas. A very minor color balance correction would fix... Thanks for spotting it.
