That's about as sharp as it gets. Love the background. The only thing that would have made this better is a natural perch. Regardless, great image.

Beautiful lighting and detail Bill. Its also very sharp for such a slow shutter speed. The vegetation on his leg is a nice touch. :toast:

Doesn't get much better than this! Wonderful lighting and BG as well. The juvies tend to stay still for extended times, so the two second shot was a little chancy, but it certainly worked, and well worth it. Don't get too attached to it, though! :biggrin:

Forgot to shave one leg! Super background and nice details on the bird. This looks like a black-crowned to me. Sharon
