    40D, canon 100-400@235mm, 1/250 f 9.0, ISO 400. Very tame birds but won't sit still for long. Used fill flash.

    Seems a little to tight in frame for me and wonder what a vertical image would look like ? On my monitor the white cheek seems a little blown but the chest and head feathers appear great.. I like the perch.

    Arsdel,
    I agree with Chales that this image would be improved by going vertical and more room at top and bottom of bird. Excellent pose and perch. I need to get out to Coupeville more often if this species is plentiful and tame. Nice image.

    I tried 8.5 x 11 vertical but I thought it was a bit tight. Thanks

    This needed to be a vertical original capture. The bottom of the perch has a mega cut-out look; did you do something there?

    You need to refine your techniques :) Do consider Digital Basics....
