I wasn't set up for something this close and didn't have time to change settings. Cropped to vertical.

Hi Roy,
I like the image and capture. Would suggest adding a tad more canvas to the right side of the frame, its a little tight. Also might want to tone down the whites on the breast area and give it a tad more contrast and saturation adjustment...good show...looking forward to your next one Sir...:cool:

[Harold Davis]

agree with gus' suggestions. good looking bird on a decent perch. the bg is different and i like it!!

I like the pose, perch and BG, composition is nice too, the bird seems to lack fine detail a bit.

Hi Roy Did come up with a nice image despite the settings !! I'm sure you would like to have raised the ISO and kept wide open for shutter speed also !!!

Hi Roy - Gus nailed it for me ... does seem to lack fine detail.
Any NR used???
