    Congrats Jay, beautiful with good HA. I would crop tighter and run NR on the BG. may need slight ccw rotation

    Thanks Arash - I am now playing with Pixel Genius Sharpener; next I will tackle a noise program - I have a few to chose from (Define, Noise Ninja, and Neat Image - can't decide which to try first :-) ) Also, when I take on noise reduction I then take on running the program only on the background - another lesson to be learned. Cheers,

    Hey Jay. Nice low angle, exposure, and HA. I agree with Arash about the noise and rotation. If you have Photoshop, the noise reduction, and sharpening programs work very well there. A few rounds of smart sharpen work very well on web jpegs. You might want to check the ER forum, there are some good threads on noise and sharpening there.

    Hope your trip was good, and keep them coming!

    I like the angle, light and eye contact. Another vote for NR on the BG and I would sharpen the bird a tad more. I might also crop a bit off the bottom.

    Nice low angle and detail in the bird. I might take some off the right side.
