    Up front and Personal , slight crop from rt and lt, filled the frame. Boy these guys love to preen, and trash their beaks. Natural shot here, though of cloning beak, but that's a big alteration in my books.

    Pretty good sharpness considering the shutter speed, but the DOF seems quite shallow for f/10. I like the eye contact, but do wish the bird's plumage was in better shape and the beak a little cleaner.

    Not bad for 1/60, Don. A bit more selective sharpening of the eye and base of the bill would be worth a try. May also consider knocking back the saturation of the greens a little.

    Nice portrait, maybe a bit more room to the right but nothing extensive. Focus seems to be a little backfocused for the eye, so as a result the back of the neck is very sharp but the beak is a bit out.
