    Very nice IQ and textures, feet are not a deal breaker for me (but would be nice to see them in a perfect world). I would like to see a portrait crop to get away from the square crop. Nice looking image!

    I like the sharpness and the full and depth of the colors. What Dumay say about the portret crop sounds good too me also! There is one point more in this picture a small one but still,there is a small sharpening line under the beak. Thanks for sharing

    I was going to comment that I actually like the square composition in this case! I too would like to see the feet (or at least part of them), but still like it as is. Perfect look-back HA.

    Wow!

    Fantastic Shot with great details on this one...I really like the look back HA as it helps capture most of the feather details.

    Some fantastic feather details shown here. Love the pose, perch and colours.

    I like the unusually attractive light on the wheatear. The lack of feet are also not a deal-breaker for me, but I'd like to see them just the same. Why were you "sick" about not getting the feet? Did you miss some opportunity to get the feet? I tend to save my anguish for the chances I blow, rather than spending it on opportunities that never arose.

    Feather detail is fantastic, with an amazing background! Ditto on seeing the feet, but we can't have it all.

    A super portrait!

    Very nice indeed Chris, great light and detail. Haven't got a problem with the missing feet.
