Good looking bird, and the meal is a nice bonus. Good sharpness for the indicated SS, but as posted the image could stand another round of USM to make the fine detail more apparent. With the diffused light seemingly coming from behind your subject fill-flash would have done wonders here. Perch is a little large, but the bark has a nice look/texture to it.
The angle is very good. Good control of the colors.Agree with above comments about sharpening. Since the perch is quite large, what about decreasing the highlights a little, so it is less prominent.:)
Hi Everyone,
Thanks for your comments. As seems to be the usual, the original is somewhat sharper than the posted image. Here is the posted image once again with an added round of USM. Hope this looks a bit better.
Repost is better. I like the species, BG, colors, detail and moment, pose is nice too. The perch IMO is too large for this guy and the crop resulted in a very centered bird.
Congratulations.
Hi Ramon,
Thanks for commenting on my photo. Here is another version with the bird turned in the other direction. Somewhat better composition as regards the position of the bird. I will go back to the nest today and see if I can get some better composition with the bird on more asthetically pleasing perches.
