Very nice Kerry. Background matches his coloring and makes a fantastic shot. Not sure what he's perching on but if the couple of white spots were not there I think my eye would stay on the bird.

Hi Kerry,
I like the capture...you have good details and good color redition...love the head angle...would suggest not having the perch coming out of an intersecting corner...might add a tad of canvas on the bottom to raise the perch a bit...looking forward to your next one...:cool:
Hi Kerry nothing wrong with the square crop I never pay attention and crop to look best !!
I like the tech settings very much and using the back button .... neat. Tried it for six months (all the time) and gave it up !!! btw the area on the base of the wing seems in sharper focus than the face area !!
Thanks guys. This was a problematic shot, especially the crop. There is bright distracting bg just under the bird so I had to crop that close to the wire. I was behind a chain link fence and could not move to a more favorable angle, which also affected the plane of focus.
Pete, good eye to catch those spots - will clean up before printing. This one was a good learning experience!
Kerry, Very nice! I love the HA with the bird looking right at you. Would be nice if the bird was a bit sharper, but looks like you did well under the circumstances.
