lots of nice detail and a great exposure. no HAP issues here! i think a tad bit more sharpening may bring out even more details?

[Jackie Schuknecht]

More sharpening applied to the bird and eye. Does this look better?

[Harold Davis]

Jackie, Really nice Downy! Good job w/ the exposure-Nice clean eye!

Hi Jackie - nice job on the exposure, the repost with the extra sharpening is the one. Good HA - nice details and a complimentary BG. :)

Feels just a little tight to me.

Lady Jackie,
I like the composition, image and capture...the rock perch with the hints and traces of yellow add a very nice touch...I like the second post with the extra sprinkle of sharpening...well done...proud of you...:cool:

Your re post makes it stand out much better. My nit is going to be on the size of the perch against the small bird. Just my HO.

Very nice image, this little ones I find the hardest to photograph.

Nice work Jackie..A bit extra to the eye did the trick. I can't make up my mind if it feels to tight in the frame, but since I can't I'll say its not:-)
