Looks pretty good on my end Gail. Maybe the feathers around the eye seem a touch over sharpened? Not sure really as I don't see too many mega close ups like this. I do wish the head was facing us a touch more.

Happy New Year to you Gail. And congratulations on the new gear. This is a great way to start the year. Lovely colors, and sharpness looks just right to me. Colors of the Sharpie are lovely, and the BG color sets him off nicely. Well done.

sharpening looks better to me. But now I wish that the beak was clear of the body
And I envy that great background in your yard. I have a Coopers Hawk, a Sharp-shined Hawk, a Red-tail and a Red-shouldered that have been frequenting my yard this winter. Coming for the birds at the feeders. But I have no nice backgrounds and can not get a shot of them that does not include my neighbors white fence!!!

Thats just not fair having these in your back garden (now exit grumpy mode!). Both are nice shots, but on my old HS moi tor the first looked a little oversharpened, the second looks better. Still, I think whilst we're all transitioning between the 2 types of monitor we're going to see things on our screens that people in the 'other camp' won't, so you just have to go with what looks good on your setup.
Personally I prefer the head angle on the OP, although with the line of light the bird is giving it does give the impression that a couple of degrees more towards us might work a bit better. I wonder if we'll ever be satisfied!

What a wonderful visitor and both images are well done. I especially like the details throughout and the gorgeous red/orange iris popping with the yellow eye ring. Hope he or she found itself a meal, life is tough out there for birds. I think less sharpening did the trick, as the OP was slightly by a smidge crunchy.

I like the second post composition wise. The details look great. Love that red eye. New computer sounds fancy and fast have fun with that.

Beautiful portrait Gail! I like the details, red eye, composition and BG. I like the OP over the RP for the head angle.

Beautiful adult you captured Gail and your techs look spot on to me. That red eye is really something special at this range and the details are really captivating. I prefer the OP as I like the HA better and the more vertical comp. Great portrait Gail and Happy New Year
