    Real fine image Jim. Love the comp and perch as well as the great color. Nice clean BG which I feel might be just a bit too bright. Might darken the corners to hold the eye on the bird.

    A fine image indeed! Agree it can be slightly darker.

    Beautiful Clean shot. Beautiful bird and colors. I just wish you had a tad more than F4 for the tail.

    Hi Jim,
    You are doing some lovely set ups.
    Great perch and composition. Lovely pose and IQ.
    I prefer the OP colors.
    If you had the chance to do it over again I would double the ISO to get higher F stop and more DOF for the tail but it is easy for me to be an "armchair " critic and not the actual photographer!!Everything always happens so fast in the field.

    The repost is very nice and very sharp for 1/100.
    A really pretty bird, a bit more DOF would look nice but from the settings,
    probably not possible.

    Hi Jim, very well exposed on difficult colours, and I like the interesting perch. Well placed in the frame, and you have a great BG there. I prefer your repost.

    Not sure exactly what the color of this species is meant to be so cant comment on the color, but it does look nicely composed on the grass stem, although I would take a little more from the bottom. I think your choice of ISO wass good, anymore with a 40 D and it would probably become noisier. I dont find the dof to shallow, maybe a little, but doesn't affect IQ at all I feel.

    Fantastic setup, Jim. I love the pose, the perch and the bg. The repost works for me.
    I'm absolutely fine with the DOF.
