cameron,

Actually looking at the light you had I might have increased, not decreased the ISO. I usually shoot in aperture priority though on a Nikon, so I am not sure the raising your ISO would have increased your shutter speed in TV on your Canon.

I like the pose of your sparrowhawk, how the wire fence points to the bird and I don't even mind how OOF it is because it gets more in focus near the bird. If you have more canvas on the right side of the frame I would suggest adding a little back there because the bird feels tight to the frame on that side.

There seems to be some posterization to the background, I am not sure why.

Saturdays and Sundays are a little slow in Avian, hopefully you will get more comments and advice soon.
