    Nikon D200
    Nikon 500mm F4 Manual lens
    Nikon 1.4X Teleconverter
    Tripod

    Camera Setting:
    ISO - 400
    F-stop f/11
    Speed - 1/200

    Please supply me with feedback. Thanks, ADubin

    Beautiful capture with great color and detail and superb eye contact Arnold . I would like to see a tad more canvas to the left . Fine work and thanks for sharing.

    Judy,

    Off to the left of this photo is the bright blue sky. I initially look at cropping and leaving some blue sky in my photo. After looking at it several times I thought it would look better if I just show the tree. Next time I will try to get a different when I capture this image again. Thank for your comments, ADubin:)

    I like it, just as it is. I suppose there are things that could improve it, but it feels very intimate as it is. I feel like I am a part of this picture when I look at it.

    Hi Arnold, Is this anywhere near full frame? I like the framing. It seems as if the bird's head could use a good round of selective sharpening.

    Arnold let me know that this crop represents only 10% of the original frame. Such huge crops will always effect image quality and apparent sharpness. Aside from some noise, the image actually looks pretty good for such a huge crop.
