Nice clean, high key shot of this guy John. I like the singing pose and composition very much.

Hi John, what was the EV set to, I think it looks a bit under exposed because it's all looking a bit crunchy, nothing to do with ISO. What metering are you using also, Spot, Evaluated....?

Cheers
Steve

PS send me a screen grab of the whole Exif data from DPP that would be a good help.

Very nice high key image.
IQ looks good but I agree with Steve that it looks a bit crunchy(perhaps oversharpened a bit?).
The simple perch and singing pose are excellent.
A very nice image that would really "sing" with some improved PP.

Hey Steve, I was +3 for the EV. I always use evaluative metering. I don't use DPP.
