7D, !00-400@400, 5.6, ISO 800, 1/50

C7C welcome requested and appreciated

Nice image of an Eastern Pheobe. Sharp for 1/50th of a second. The bug adds a lot. Light from flash is cool, where your BG is warm. I would select the bird and perch and warm it a little.

Thanks Alan. would you say it's sharp enough1/50 or not? I was not too happy about the tail position and the way it looks shorter than it actually is. I will repost with the suggested changes.

Nice little bird Amol.
I like the composition and the bug is great. Nice clean BG.
I see a bit of a magenta cast on the white breast feathers,

THanks Gail,

It may be the undercoat of feathers or the colors mixed. I think thats how this bird looked. May be its my monitor...
