    Another beauty, Alan. Beautiful bird, nice perch, great pose and detail. Top and back of head seem just a bit soft - I would have thought f/9 would have been enough dof.

    Beautiful subject, great background and the sharpness looks just right on my monitor.

    Excellent HA and catchlight.

    It would have been cool if the vine just exited stage left wrapped around the perch but one can't have everything :)

    Old image of a young bird ? :-)

    For my taste the background is too uniform ... but I know most people prefer it.

    Great capture

    Hi Alan, it's interesting that 1/500 of a second was enough to freeze him. Bill Dix noted that the back of the head is soft. Might you have tried a narrow aperture and a higher ISO? In that case, you'd have probably been able to stay at your 1/500 sec. with more DOF. ISO 200 seems unusually low for a small, fast-moving bird, even in good light. If what I'm saying here sounds like a critique, then fine, but really I'm asking; I just don't know.
