Hi Scott Do agree its looking better Don't think you have "hot areas" but probably the overall density could be lowered a bit
What keeps the image form being even better is the pose With the bird position All appears in focus until you get to the tail just protruding from the perch There is nothing under your control to remedy Stopping down to the max would not do it When we see the entire bird the transition is smoother So here shooting from a lower angle would have helped Keep them coming !!!
Wow, such an incredibly sharp image with some killer lighting. I wish that he/she would have held their tail a bit lower so you'd have more bird visible to the right of the perch, but that's a small issue. I love it Scott!
Thank you all for commenting on this image.
Cheryl, I'm not sure if it is a reflection of light or what, but I went back and looked at the 4 or 5 different originals and they all show the same white line around the beak. It is not on the ones where the head is turned the oposite direction though.
