Trying again....slightly different pose, added a gradient to background, removed more leaves, etc. Don't think it's any sharper....what do you think of this one? Any better in general? Or worse, lol!? Ummmm....think I still see some bg noise....Here is the link to the last one (I think): http://www.birdphotographers.net/for...253#post113253

Congratulations Anita. I have only seen this species once. Very nice composition and as Fab already mentioned it would really make this image to have a head turn so as to make eye contact. Thanks for sharing.
I was going to go with the eye contact thing, but well, it does have some BG noise, but overall I like it better than the first one (except for that head turn)
Congratulations!
Thanks, Fabs, Judy and Ramon. Hmmmm....maybe a blend of the two...correct head turn with this background.... Thanks for the time you took to stop and comment, much appreciated!
