I had a great snow day today and enjoyed shooting in my yard. This is my first post with my return to Canon; R5 and 600mmIII... I have had the camera about a month and today it felt excitingly good in my hands. I have not had a chance to shoot any BIF so i have been practicing on perched birds. Steep learning curve just as Gail mentioned but it certainly has many goodies that are all worth cultivating. I processed with DPP then off to PS... Cropped, sharpened, and added a little contrast as it looked a wee flat.

Nice simple image, and just enough lichen on the perch to give it character. Sharp, good crest-raise. I do wish for a bit more "life" in the eye, perhaps by judiciously lifting a small section of the apparent reflection. Have you tried a version with the subject lower and right in the frame?
