Nice exposure, details, perch and BG. The bird is too large in the frame for me. I think it would be much more pleasing with some space all around.

I second marina. Fantastic image.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Yes to large in the frame, the perch looks very nice and fragile...it would have been nice to have seen more of it (as well as more room all around). The dof is fine to me as what needs to be sharp is. Nice uniform BG with a hint of gradient to it.

He, he ,he.....I like tight comps....so works for me although I do see the room all around point. Love the dainty perch!
