Jon, love the perch. Subject is barely sharp enough for my liking.

My primary nit here is the light angle and shadows. May not be a deal-breaker for some, but otherwise it would be a sure winner for me.

Well captured Jon...Great pose...To me it looks a wee bit soft...with you commenting on my sharpening being too much...just wondering if its the difference in monitors....I have started using Smart Sharpen instead of Unsharp Mask, when I use Topaz DN....

Thanks Brian & Will, on reflection I think the plane of focus does not coincide with the eye - a duff shot!
