Poor weather preventing any outtings , so going through the hard drive and finding things I never processed before. This is onefrom about 2 years ago.

320 ISO f5.6 at 1/640th
Cropped for comp. and ran some NR as well.(Neat Image)
Processed in CS5 and ColorEfex Pro

Joe:

Well exposed, nice head angle, interesting perch (although I wish the end didn't project towards us and go OOF)

Slightly tight in the frame for my tastes, and the sharpening is starting to cause some jaggies to show up along the wing feathers.

I might try to smooth the dark outline in the background on the right.

Cheers

Randy

Excellent details, exposure and BG...Little tight in frame for my taste..I also see some halos around head and beak and Randy rightly pointed out effects of sharpening

Excellent pose details perch and background. I'm glad you found it.

Super capture Joe I like it very much but I would suggest that the image is over sharpened as well as the sharpening going just beyond the bird.
