Is the HA okay on this?
Should I sharpen more?
Are the wing positions okay?

Hi Denise,

I would not do a thing.... Love the blur on the wings. Keep up the good work!

[Daniel Cadieux]

Looking great Denise! Answers to your questions: yes, no, yes. I'm finding the colours a bit muted - Perhaps a boost in saturation would help liven those up (but be careful of the yellow channel as the BG may become too saturated). I would also see if you could eliminate the bright spot directly behind the far wing. Love the stick, and love the dangling feet :-)

Thanks guys, I value all of your opinions. Daniel-I de-saturated this a bit.It looked too saturated to me-I guess I went a bit too far.Will correct the saturation and I'll attempt to darken the spot- Once again Thankyou.

I really like images like this. Nice wing position with enough blur to suggest movement, and the stick is a plus.

Lovely landing posture, and a bonus to have his building material in the beak. This is pin sharp where it counts. Well captured Denise.
