    Looks pretty sharp for a large crop. EXP good too. Angle up to the bird not so good... Eye level would have been nice .

    It is a fine quality image with excellent colour rendition, despite the comment I make I would reduce the crop to get even better quality, I think the details in the primaries would improve, also I would reduce the sharpness of the perch a little so it does not demand quite so much attention.
