Yes Ofer sharp as tact but I think when you downsample to small size some fine feathers may need more sharpening to look super :) it might be my screen or eyes too.

Thanks Arash!
I guess I should revise my sharpening procedure which hasn't changed for the last few years - its about time as my eyes are getting weaker...:(

Superb light and composition Ofer. I would also recommend another sharpening run.

Beautiful BG pops the subject. Exposure looks spot on. Great comp. and detail.
