Hi Jon, certainly a tad 'bright', but as posted it looks very sooty/coarse in the BKG and with a lemon yellow cast???? I all appears quite contrasty, the subject again appears soft and the large yellow 'blob' behind the subject is rather distracting.
Sorry Jon.

Hi Jon ... this is not really working for me .
BG is is busy and kind of contrasty , I could live with it if the subject had a better posture or pose ... but the " worst " thing is , it is simply not sharp !!!! At least not as I would wish it would be ....
Looks more like a grab shot , and it might be one .
Regarding brightness , I am ok with the overall exposure / brightness .... but would tame the HL a bit more .

Hi Jon ... fully ok with your view to things !!!
Well if you think " not bad " regarding sharpness is enough , your call .
I personally expect ... " good if not very good " sharpness for my images .
Just different views ...again fully ok
Cheers Andreas

Jon, I'm curious about your recent images with sharp wing movement, is the OM-1 using a mechanical shutter?
With my 1DX II or III I found that the reflexes of some small birds within earshot of the shutter were so astonishingly fast that they would be startled by the sound and raise their wings all within the fraction of a second that the shutter was open.

Colin I use mechanical shutter very rarely.
As a routine I use electronic shutter and I am using Procapture so in other words I take a predetermined number of images in my case I have set it to 10, so five images before I fully depress the shutter and 5 after. This way there is just about zero wear and tear on the camera. As soon as I see some kind of pose or action I fully depress the shutter and the camera records the images around that period of time. Ok there are lots of images - jus been out for an hour or so and came back with 915 images but I can soon whittle down in Olympus software before going to ACR/PSCC.
