I took this sometime back. Settings were -

40D, Sigma 50-500mm @ 500mm
1/640 sec, f/8 Mode: Av Metering: Evaluative Exp comp: +2/3 ISO: 400

Removed background noise and applied usm. Your feedback would be appreciated...

The bird is a bit centered to my taste, much better if you add room (in the case that you have it, of course) at the bottom and left in order to place the trush towards the upper right corner. The light is a bit harsh to my taste but you got a very neat eye contact :-)

Thanks Juan. Here is a repost with the different crop...

The repost looks much better!
beautiful pose and eye contact!

Nice catch! A head trun would have been nice and I would de-saturate the sky some.

[Linda Robbins]

The repost crop is much better. The head is just slightly turned away and I also would desaturate the sky.

Here is another repost with de-saturated sky.

Lovely pose, and like the detail on him. The re comp looks great, and I feel the sky was fine in your original.
