    Haim,

    Good job on the exposure and placement in the frame. Nice HA too. I the perch is a bit large for the bird and the way it is part in focus and part not is a bit distracting. You may also want to sharpen the head a bit more.

    Thank you very much Jim.
    Took this during Safari in Samburo Park in Kenya, almost laying on the car's roof, whisper to the driver to approach very very slowly. I could not change the perch.:)
    What is: "Nice HA too"??

    I agree with the above comments and the repost does look better but still, to me, the perch is preeety oversized for the species. Nice colors and pose though. Congratulaitons!

    I prefer the original to the repost. It has better color and the OOF areas of the perch are less distracting to my eye than over-sharpening. Well done, Haim. Great HA.

    Beautiful, I like the OP as the sharpen perch distracts a bit. I would suggest just sharpening the back os the bird.. loved the bird too...
