Nice shot! Looks a bit over sharpened, but the colors are great. Thanks for sharing.

Nice pose, John and it looks like excellent detail, but on my screen the bird looks oversharpened (or perhaps it's a resizing artifact). Personally, I'd prefer a bit looser composition, if you have more room in the image as taken. If this is full frame, that's just the way the dice roll.

I agree with the other two comments. This feels too tight in the frame and appears to be over sharpened. The larger version is better for sharpening.

John, great color & the bird isn't oversharpened to me. I would like to see more space around him & the BG is too cluttered for my taste - but Nature doesn't cater for my taste!

John,
What a vivid lovely photo. There seems to be a halo beneath the bird and around the branch he is standing on viewed on my monitor. I wonder how this would look with the OOF branch behind his head cloned out. :toast:
