Hi Folks

Another try to get sharpening, noise, exposure right with this Curve-billed Thraser in our garden this morning, At least he is big enough not to crop very much. IMHO, to fill frame better with the small birds I need better glass so I can use 1.4X, and especially 2.0X lens converters, and a camera that can handle noise above ISO 400 would probably be a step in the right direction :)

CC's warmly invited

BTW: Should have new glasses by the WE

Olympus E-620 IS, Zuiko 70-300 @ 270 mm

Shutter Priority, F/6.3, 1/500s, ISO 100,0.00eV, Auto WB

BG doesn't bother me too much.

I like it as presented Gus !!! Excellent dof for this one !! Do like the setting and its an appealing image !! When you don't have to crop much does make a difference !!!!

Hi Gus...Nicely done! Great perch and tack sharp overall. You might run NR once more....but not too bad!
