I like the divorcement and the food item ads more interest, nice composition too. Wish for more head turn. The IQ is not great and there are some sharpening artifact in the head... did you have to crop a lot?

Arash, it was not a large crop (60%) and I did not sharpen much.
I am losing a lot of IQ since I began downsizing to load on the BPN site.
Maybe I am doing something wrong.
I do all my PP, save to jpeg, downsize, load in Iphoto and upload from there to the web.
Is this the best or only way to do this?
Anyway, thanks for the comments.
the same image pretty much loaded through photobucket.

Very nice image of a shy bird. I like the composition but wish the HA was a little better.
The second photo seems to have finer detail. How are you creating the downsized image for BPN?
To generate my web-size images I use Lightroom and export to JPEG to 1024x800 and limit the file size to 200K and sharpen for the screen (all options of the Export command).

Dan,
image in pane #3 is much better than the original. I think you applied too much sharpening. I use "Save for web" in CS5 to save for BPN.

Nice setting. I like the berry, and the spider (?) in the bill. I agree the repost looks better, but I'd lose the OOF yellow branch in lower left corner. Wish the HA was better too.
I too like the re-post better. I also do Save for Web.
